YouGov poll shows dramatic shift in UK political landscape

Anadolu Agency

According to a YouGov poll, support for the Labour Party has fallen to a historic low of just 17%, matching that of the Conservatives.

The survey shows far-right Reform UK leading with 27%, while the Green Party has risen to 16% and the Liberal Democrats stand at 15%. The results suggest the four main parties — Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, and Greens — are now closely clustered.

Mothin Ali, co-deputy leader of the Green Party, told the Guardian: “We said we were here to replace Labour and take the fight to Reform, and we meant it. People are turning to the Greens because we are pushing for bold change and making hope normal again.”

Ali added that the party has seen a sharp rise in both membership and polling numbers. Under new leader Zack Polanski, membership has surged from around 70,000 to over 150,000 in just seven weeks.

The Greens are gaining particular trust among younger and urban voters, especially in London, where they are favoured over other parties in this demographic. They have also built strong credibility on environmental policy, with 57% of Britons saying they trust the party at least to some extent on these issues.
