Young Scots 'flock to back Farage party'

Poll predicts right-wing surge powered by 16 to 24-year-olds

NIGEL Farage is set to be "kingmaker" in the Scottish Parliament as a poll finds support for his Reform party is soaring.

A survey predicts Farage's right-wing populist movement could return 14 MSPs next year enough to be part of a coalition at Holyrood to oust the SNP.

The Survation poll shows the SNP still on track to be the largest party after the 2026 election but with fewer MSPs.

Reform has no dedicated leader in Scotland and its most recent media event here was held outside a Glasgow chippy.

Support has risen despite the party being riven by in-fighting in recent weeks.
