As I said in my post it's rubbish because the polls don't(and can't) take account of tactical voting. The seat projections have Reform winning loads of sears on small majorities in three and four way marginals. In reality it's likely that some not very remarkable tactical voting would take away a lot of those wins.
Therefore if a General election was tomorrow the seats won would be nothing like the seat projections.
The polling is fine for voting preference and showing how unpopular the Government is. Also likely to play through in the locals where people are less likely to vote tactically
I agree. Reform getting the most votes, but not the most seats (because of tactical voting and our regional demographics and voting system), is still what I think the current polls point to. But even if they don't end up in government, that's going to cause huge problems for this country. Especially when it comes to rebuilding our relationship with the rest of Europe.
