For all the talk of a Reform surge, this has to strongly indicate that they're near their peak. For a comparable datapoint from history, Labour held a polling lead from 2010 to mid 2015 over the Conservatives, but Milliband never out-polled Cameron on "best PM" questions, Cameron then of course went on to win the 2015 GE.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
And yet only 2% on Davey.
Farage is getting disturbingly high figures for someone who's such an obvious grifter
It is deeply unsettling that anyone can look at him and see anything but a wrong 'un. All I can do is hope others are right that his support is hitting a plateau.
Starmer is bad.
But literally our best option.
after a splendid debut in US, the “lesser evil” had another successful launch in UK.
Unfortunately. Americanism is starting to infect our culture here like a plague
I am jealous that only 25-30% of the UK seems to be criminally insane. We're around 48-51% of voters here in the states.
Media leaving out Jeremy Corbyn as usual
Interesting set of data. The loser always gets around mid-20s but the winner move depending on the loser. So it was all about the "Don't knows" making up their mind in certain conditions.
Makes me think the responses were:
- Starmer Vs Farage: Oh fuck, Starmer, no contest
- Starmer Vs Davey: Meh!
Another point, Farage lost to everyone else.
