Reform would win most seats in general election, in-depth poll suggests
- YouGov’s detailed poll released on Thursday indicates that Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, would secure the highest number of seats in a general election held today across Great Britain.
- The poll reflects a fractured and volatile electoral scene with Labour projected to win only 178 seats, less than half of its 411 seats from last year.
- Reform UK would gain 271 seats, becoming the largest party in a hung parliament while the Conservatives fall to fourth place with 46 seats, and Liberal Democrats rise to 81 seats.
- YouGov surveyed 11,500 voters, found Reform leading in 99% of poll simulations, and noted that 'rainbow style coalition possibilities do appear' with just 3% of simulations producing a clear majority combining Labour, Lib Dems, and SNP.
- These projections indicate a highly divided parliament likely requiring coalition talks, as no single party is predicted to secure the 326 seats needed for a majority.

Survey shows support for electoral reform now at 60% – so could it happen?
Public support for reforming the UK’s first past the post electoral system has risen markedly of late. So is there any serious chance that such reform could actually happen? The annual British Social Attitudes survey (BSA) has been tracking public attitudes to electoral reform (and other issues) since 1983.
