I can't stand Farage, but i think given the poor performance of the current government, he is pretty much nailed on. He will also be leading the party with the most cash

That's all valid points.
However Farage is in his 60s now so no youngster.

Not that age should be a main factor.
It should be one of the factors but not any major one.
I know people in their 70s who are far more energetic and strong in thinking than others much younger.
What is surprising me more recently though, is the number of young people and I'm talking of people under 20.
Who really see something of more they like as to Jeremy Corbyn.

2019 was a horrific election for him and Labour.
However Brexit and the media campaign of anti-semitism were a strong factor in that election.
Those 2 things have been pretty much eradicated almost.
Except that it appears those polled favour much closer ties to Europe again.
Which is also extremely popular with younger voters and NEW voters.

Going 2 years earlier however in 2017, Corbyn's leadership of the Party surprised the media and even myself.
When he very nearly pulled off a result that could have seen him PM.
As the largest Party.
The LibDems under Tim Farron then, with the SNP and Plaid Cymru would have supported Corbyn's Labour in 2017.

IF he also was to embrace PR too, then I think a lot of bets could be off.

4 years down the line, who honestly really knows what will be.
Farage and Reform could possibly be ending up seen more as also rans.
Especially if the Conservatives, (if they did), get a far more credible leader who could pull even a few percentage points of their previous voters back from Reform.
