A new poll predicts that Labour is on course for its biggest election victory in history, beating Tony Blair’s landslide in 199
The Yougov MRP poll of 50,000 voters, which projects Kier Starmer on track to win 422 seats.
If correct it would be the worst Tory rout since 1907 with the party forecast to win just 140 seats and heavy such as Jacob Rees Mogg, Grant Shapps and Oenny Mordaunt projected to lose their seats
The poll puts Labour on 422 seats
Tories: 140 seats,Lib Dems: 48 seats
and SNP: 17 seats
Not only would Starmer’s majority be bigger than the number Tony Blair achieved in 1997 (179), but it would in fact be the second largest majority in British political history after Stanley Baldwin’s figure of 210 in 1924.
The Conservatives could be set for near wipeout across many areas of the country, including London, the North East, the North West, and Wales. It also projects that the Scottish National Party would lose more than half their seats, with Labour returning as the largest party north of the border.
The Liberal Democrats would supplant the SNP as the third party of British politics, taking back that particular crown for the first time since 2010. With 48 seats in this model, Ed Davey appears to be successfully guiding his party back to having a significant presence in the House of Commons once more.
