Commentary for December 2024

Posted 1 December 2024

Labour's poll lead over the Conservatives has dwindled down to one percent, according to the recent polls. That has reduced so much that Labour would no longer have a majority in the House of Commons if there were an imminent election. Reform are the main gainers in terms of votes, but the Conservatives would do better in terms of seats.

Also, Richard Rose writes this month that Losing a majority needn't mean losing office.
