Not really comparable since the DUP is constrained to Northern Ireland and never even considers entering mainland UK. The Conservative party, Labour party and Lib Dems rarely run in Northern Ireland if ever, so the parties don’t have to worry about them. Reform is UK-Wide and actively snatched votes from the Tories.
Do you care that the DUP has seats?
No, reform will be equally meaningless.

Reform has 14% of the popular vote. The Tories will be chasing that.
