The UK politics has been showing signs of change for months, with a sense of resignation among conservatives after almost 14 years in power. A recent macro survey conducted by the Best for Britain organization, in collaboration with the sociological firm Survation, consulted over 15,000 Britons between March 8 and 22. The survey predicts a historic victory for the Labour opposition and a major defeat for Rishi Sunak. Keir Starmer is projected to achieve a majority of 468 seats (compared to the current 203 Labour seats) with a 19% advantage, while the Conservatives are expected to only hold 98 seats (as opposed to the current 365).
The survey indicates that there is a significant shift in voter preference away from the Tories, according to Naomi Smith, the executive director of Best for Britain. The organization initially emerged to oppose Brexit but now highlights the decline both internally and externally of the United Kingdom’s political landscape. The general election is legally required to be held no later than January 2025, with speculation pointing towards November as a likely timeframe.
On May 2, municipal elections will take place across England, including the London mayoral race, with predictions of a significant setback for the Conservatives. If the trend continues with losses in these elections, Prime Minister Sunak’s position may become untenable due to pressure from within his own party. However, there is also a possible route for the Conservatives to gain some ground back if Reform UK, a party currently led by Richard Tice but overshadowed by Nigel Farage, chooses to withdraw from certain constituencies, allowing the Conservatives to potentially gain over 150 seats.
The Prime Minister is facing challenges with an economy struggling to overcome a migration crisis and fulfill promises made during his mandate. The Conservative Party may be under pressure to consider a change in leadership before the next general election in order to regain political ground. The methodology for ousting a Conservative leader involves gathering 53 “letters of no confidence” from current party members
