UK Reform Party admits it cannot block Labour's solar farm plans without election win

Reform UK's energy chief has admitted the party cannot block Labour's planned mega solar farms unless Reform wins the next general election and gains parliamentary control.

The admission undercuts Reform's campaign promise to "scrap the net zero madness." While the party has told supporters it opposes large-scale renewable energy projects, it acknowledged having no mechanism to prevent their construction under the current Labour government.

The statement reflects the limits of opposition party leverage on energy policy. Reform would require either an election victory or significant legislative coalition to implement its energy agenda.
