Commentary for end-September 2025

Posted 30 September 2025

Although party support remained fairly constant in September, our prediction has been updated to reflect new information about tactical voting. This shows that many voters will vote tactically both for left-right partisan reasons, and also to keep Reform out. This costs Reform several dozen seats and deprives them of an overall parliamentary majority.

On our figures, a possible scenario would be a Reform-Conservative government, with Reform as the largest party.
