The latest YouGov MRP poll suggests Nigel Farage's Reform party could win 42% of UK seats in a general election. However, their actual support among voters is just 26%. This disparity highlights flaws in the first-past-the-post electoral system, which can create a misleading perception of public support. Only one in four UK voters favor Reform, yet discussions about potential majority victories overshadow this majority disapproval. The situation is further complicated in Wales, where recent polling shows Reform competing closely with Plaid Cymru ahead of upcoming Senedd elections.
While Nigel Farage's Reform party might be predicted to win 42% of the House of Commons seats, actual support is only 26%. The majority of UK voters clearly do not want them in government.
The narrative that Reform can win a majority distorts the true picture of voter sentiment, as three-quarters of the public are against Nigel Farage's party.
