The next election may not be expected for another four years but that won’t stop politicos speculating as to what would happen were a vote called now. Less than six months after Keir Starmer’s landslide election victory, the Sunday Times has published a mega poll which finds that if an election was held today, Keir Starmer would lose his majority and just under 200 seats. However, Labour would still be the largest party with 228 seats – as the vote on the right would split between the Conservatives and Reform.
The Tories would be in second place – six seats behind Labour on 222 seats. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage's Reform party would climb to third place with 72 MPs. The Liberal Democrats would fall into fourth on 58 seats while the SNP would be in fifth on 37 seats.
