The article discusses a significant shift in British voting patterns, highlighting comments from polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice. He reveals that less than half of respondents intend to vote for the traditional Conservative or Labour parties. Instead, Nigel Farage's Reform UK party is predicted to gain substantial traction, potentially winning many seats in forthcoming local elections. This could indicate a seismic change in British politics, with some voters previously aligned with Labour now also shifting to Reform, thereby realigning the traditional voting landscape.
Fewer than half the people who tell pollsters how they are going to vote say they are going to vote either Conservative or Labour. It has never been quite that low before.
The bigger winner in the shift in voter intentions is Nigel Farage's Reform UK who he described as having already won next week's elections before a single vote is declared.
Prof Curtice argued that while Reform and its predecessor parties Ukip and the Brexit Party had traditionally eaten into the Tory vote, it was now taking thousands of Labour votes as well.
Britain's top pollster said Nigel Farage's party is the big winner already.
