A new seat-by-seat YouGov projection indicates Nigel Farage is on track to become prime minister, highlighting the depth of the Conservative Party’s collapse.
The MRP survey, which polled around 13,000 people over the past three weeks, points to a hung parliament if an election were held tomorrow. Reform UK is forecast to secure 311 out of 650 seats just 15 short of an outright majority at 326.
Given the usual adjustments for the Speaker and Sinn Féin’s abstentions, it would be virtually impossible for any leader other than Farage to command the support of the largest bloc of MPs, putting him in position to form the next government.
