Commentary for end-March 2025

Posted 30 April 2025

Reform have bounced back a couple of points this month, with both Labour and the Conservatives dropping one point each. Reform are now two points ahead of Labour, who are another two points ahead of the Conservatives.

This would translate into Reform being the largest party with dozens of seats more than Labour. Nigel Farage would be set to be Prime Minister, possibly with Conservative support. The Conservatives could be reduced to fewer than a hundred seats.

Also, Richard Rose writes this month that the Electoral System is failing in its purpose.
