Sweeping The Country
Mega poll points to huge change.
Thank you to the many paid subscribers supporting this newsletter. Welcome to the newest supporters Paul, Julie, Peter and Penelope!
If you want to understand where the real political battle now is, just look at Net Zero.
The Conservatives, who introduced the ‘green’ targets, now criticise the timing of this very agenda - having themselves brought it in when in power!
But the Tories still refuse to commit to scrapping Net Zero, sitting on the fence instead. Typical.
And so the real divide now is between Labour and Reform, the two parties leading most polls now.
You can tell Labour realise who their main opposition is now by Ed Miliband’s latest attack on Nigel Farage’s Reform.
Labour are still defending the Net Zero industrial massacre that is costing us well-paid jobs, driving up energy prices and making us reliant on foreign imports.
The lunacy of our current situation is underlined by how British Steel could - and should - now be running on our own coal.
But a proposed mine in Cumbria that could have helped with this hasn’t opened.
It is only Reform now proposing to do away with Net Zero completely.
This clear choice has sparked a quite incredible response from voters.
We’ve just seen a 16,000-strong mega poll underline the consistent trend we’re now seeing: that as things stand, Reform would win the most seats of any party at the next General Election.
More In Common’s MRP poll has Reform securing 180 MPs compared to Labour and the Conservatives on 165 each.
That would mean Labour losing 153 seats to Reform, including nine Cabinet Ministers.
The Net Zero champion himself Ed Miliband is actually on course to lose his seat to Reform.
Whilst Yvette Cooper and Angela Rayner would also lose their seats to Reform UK.
The real shocker? Those results are with all three parties on a national vote share of 24%.
A few percentage changes each way could produce an even more dramatic result.
We don’t need to wait that long to see the verdict from voters though.
Many areas will vote on 1st May in Council and Mayoral elections, as well as one parliamentary by-election.
The results could well confirm what the research now shows: this country is on course for a political earthquake.
Anybody know what's happened to Reform in Thirsk and Malton? They have until June to respond to my e mails before I cancel my Reform membership. I'm not paying for no representation. There's been nothing from them for months, has Reform given up here?
