Commentary on March 2024

Posted 2 April 2024

Conservative support slipped by 2pc during March, with Reform UK as the main beneficiary. That leaves Labour likely to win a massive landslide if there were an election soon. The Liberal Democrats are now a bit behind Reform UK in terms of vote share, but they will gain dozens of seats, while Reform is unlikely to win any.

Also read Prof Richard Rose this month who says that Reform can cost Tories more than 100 seats.
