Farage plans name switch after election

THE Brexit Party could be transformed into the “reform party” if the UK leaves the EU on January 31, party leader Nigel Farage has suggested.

Mr Farage said on Sky News’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday he had already registered the name as he added it would “have to campaign to change politics for good”.

Asked what would happen to the Brexit Party if the UK leaves the EU on January 31, he said: “It’ll have to reform into the ‘reform party’, it’ll have to campaign to change politics for good, get rid of the House of Lords, change the voting system. So much to do and again you’ll see on Thursday a turnout much lower than the pundits expect because people have lost faith in politics.”

Asked if the Reform Party was a possible new name, he added: “Absolutely, I’ve registered it already.”
