Who are the Reclaim, Heritage and Reform UK Parties Challenging Boris?
Three new parties (Reclaim, Reform UK and Heritage) have formed to challenge the Conservative Government and other mainstream parties on their perceived failings, on areas ranging from lockdown to British culture.

Content: According to The Express, it is 1% behind the Liberal Democrats, who are the third-largest party in the UK. This is similar to what happened with the Brexit Party last year, when the Conservative Party failed to achieve Brexit under former Prime Minister Theresa May.
A less well known and far more right-leaning, but more developed, party is the Heritage Party. It has been founded by the former UKIP London AM David Kurten. Heritage Party Logo set up by David Kurten, Facebook
According to their manifesto, some of their main policies include defending all forms of free speech, promoting “Traditional marriage” and Natural families”, leaving the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the Paris Climate Agreement and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and developing the teaching of skills in British schools, with the goal of making the UK self-sufficient in certain areas. The Party also stands for fiscal responsibility and the free-market economy, and on a pro-life platform.

The Heritage Party plans to stand in the next London Mayoral and Assembly elections, as well as the local elections taking place in May.
Although there is a lot of disaffection with Boris and the Conservative Party, as well as the other mainstream parties, all these parties have problems they will need to overcome. Firstly, the UK electoral system favours large, established parties that have a number of large financial donors and historical electoral success. The parties also have narrow appeal/aims; none of them are talking about issues such as housing, transport or taxation policies. A number of people have suggested that two or three of the parties merge to give them a better chance of challenging the establishment.
