Commentary for end-May 2025

Posted 30 May 2025

After their local council success on 1 May, Reform have seen a positive bounce in the polls. They are now on 30pc support, which is 7pc ahead of Labour and 12pc ahead of the Conservatives.

If there were a general election tomorrow (and there will not be), then Reform could expect to have an outright majority in the House of Commons and Nigel Farage would be Prime Minister. This is the first time that the polls have indicated that Reform could form a government on its own. The Conservatives would be the fifth largest party at Westminster behind the Liberal Democrats and the SNP.

Also, Richard Rose this month takes a look at How Nigel Farage could form a government.
