UK Conservatives in 'serious trouble' from Nigel Farage's upstart party

The United Kingdom this week faces a potentially historic election as the Conservative Party’s reign of 14 years looks set to come to a crashing end following turbulent years and difficulty finding a clear leader the people could back.

"Polls indicate that the Conservatives are in serious trouble, and, in my view, I think a socialist government would be disastrous," Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation and a former aide to Margaret Thatcher, told Fox News Digital. "But after 14 years of Conservative rule, the British public have turned against the Conservatives."
