Farage’s Reform Would Come Top in UK Election, YouGov Finds

Nigel Farage’s populist Reform UK would be the biggest party in parliament if the country held a general election today, according to a nationwide projection, underlining the political danger to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Reform would win 271 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons, with Starmer’s governing Labour party second on 178, polling firm YouGov said on Thursday. That would leave a hung parliament in which no party could govern alone.
