New SHOCK poll puts Reform as BIGGEST party in Wales and at 21% nationwide in latest blow to Labour and Conservatives

This marks a huge shift in fortunes for Reform who won no MPs in Wales in the General Election, despite securing 223,018 votes (16.9 per cent of all ballots cast).

Labour meanwhile won 27 of 32 seats, mostly at the expense of the Tories who lost all 12 of their seats in a regional wipe out.

More worryingly for Labour, Wales’ regional government the Senedd uses a proportional voting system that allocates seats via votes cast, benefitting Reform far more than Westminster’s First Past The Post (FPTP) system.

If you applied this polling to the Senedd elections, Reform would immediately become one of the biggest parties in the parliament and a major player in the Welsh political landscape.

The Labour bastion of Wales, which has been ruled by Keir Starmer’s party since devolution began 25 years ago, appears to be considering a change of leadership.

A crisis-ridden NHS with some of the worst waiting times in Britain, the lowest educational ranking of the home nations and Vaughan Gething’s disastrous 118-day premiership have all sown discontent into the Welsh people.

“We are reconstituting the centre right of British politics and our national support has now reached new highs at 21 per cent.

“Whilst the Tories flounder despite a new leader, we are closing in on 100,000 members and preparing to fight and win council seats across the country next May.”

This comes after news Labour has been getting hammered at the ballot box in council elections since the General Election.

Analysis shows Labour has lost 22 seats, over 40 per cent of seats they have defended since July 4.

The Conservatives have been the main beneficiaries gaining 17 seats, while Reform and the Lib Dems have gained three each.
