Reform would win most seats in general election, in-depth poll suggests
- YouGov released polling data indicating that Nigel Farage's Reform UK would become the largest party with 271 seats if a general election occurred today in Great Britain.
- This prospect arises from volatile voter fragmentation and collapsing combined support for Labour and the Conservatives, with average 2024 winning shares near 40% and tight electoral margins.
- The poll expects Labour to drop from 411 seats last year to around 178 seats while Liberal Democrats rise to 81 seats and Conservatives fall to 46 seats, with Reform projected to win many new seats across regions including London and the North East.
- YouGov said Reform led 99% of simulations but no single party would reach the 326-seat House of Commons majority, so a coalition government appears likely as 'rainbow style coalition possibilities do appear.'
- These findings suggest a hung parliament is most probable with higher political division and no clear two-party dominance expected in the near future UK electoral landscape.
