Richard Tice & co banging on about a @YouGov / Times poll putting them on 9%.

A few results which appear to be overlooked:

If there were a general election held tomorrow, which
party would you vote for?

Labour: 31%
Tories: 14%
Lib Dems: 6%
Reform: 6%
Green: 4%
SNP: 3%

Which of the following do you think would make the
best Prime Minister?

Sunak: 25%
Starmer: 30%
Not sure: 42%
No answer: 3%

How well or badly do you think the government are
doing at handling Britain's exit from the European
Union?

Very well: 2%
Fairly well: 16%
TOTAL WELL: 18%
Fairly badly: 27%
Very badly: 42%
TOTAL BADLY: 69%
Don't know: 13%

In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong
to vote to leave the European Union?

Right to leave: 34%
Wrong to leave: 54%
Don't know: 13%

The @YouGov /Times poll appears to be an outlier: #Politico's poll of polls puts Reform on 5%, & #ElectoralCalculus, just 4%.

Everyone other than 'manosphere' fantasist Martin Daubney realises they'd get precisely *zero* seats, meaning *zero* influence on "the balance of power".

Finally, nobody should be complacent: it's always worth knowing that in 2019 the Tories achieved an 80-seat majority despite the fact that just 29% of the UK electorate voted for them.
