New polling indicates that Reform UK is making significant gains among Britain’s Christian voters, particularly Anglicans and Catholics.

Historically, Anglicans leaned Conservative while Catholics and free-church Protestants often supported Labour, but YouGov polling from the University of Exeter now shows that among Anglicans, 38 per cent are likely to vote Reform, equal to those who strongly oppose the party.

Among Catholics, Reform now edges ahead of the Conservatives and rivals Labour.

“Only 17 per cent of Anglicans are strong supporters of the Conservatives,” the research notes, “compared with 21 per cent who back Reform.”

For Catholics, 17 per cent are now firmly in Reform’s camp, more than either Labour or the Tories.

Researchers suggest that the shift may stem from shared concerns about immigration and national identity.

“The Christian vote has become more fragmented,” the study concludes. “If any party is attracting consistent Christian backing today, it’s Reform.”
