In what traditionally has been a safe Labour seat, there are two insurgent, challenger parties that are competitive. We are used to byelections where one outsider party is doing well, but here Reform UK and the Greens are both potential winners. This is further confirmation that the two-party system has completely broken down, and we are now in an era of multi-party politics.

Voters are increasingly sophisticated in tactical voting, with Labour, Lib Dem, and Green members switching to the party best positioned to beat Conservatives.
