Labour on track for a landslide majority at next election – new poll predicts

MRP modelling - deemed more accurate than traditional surveys - suggests the Tories could be left with just 69 seats.

Labour is set to return a landslide majority at the next election based on the latest poll projections.

A Sevanta study suggests Sir Keir Starmer’s party could scoop as many as 482 seats, with the Tories being left with just 69 seats.

Prime minister Rishi Sunak, along with his two predecessors, Liz Truss and Boris Johnson, would be among the Tory big-hitters to lose their seats.

The poll was carried out using a so-called “MRP model”, which has been shown to be more accurate than traditional surveys.

Unlike other polls, it takes account of a wide range of factors to predict how certain groups are likely to vote.

The Sevanta poll puts support for Labour on 48 per cent, with the Conservatives on 28 per cent, the Lib Dems on 11 per cent, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK on 4 per cent and the Greens on 3 per cent.

It predicts that the SNP would again be the third largest party in the House of Commons, with 55 MPs – seven more than they currently have.

The Lib Dems would see their number of MPs jump by 10 to 21.

Chris Hopkins, political research director at Savanta, said: “Last time we published an MRP model, I spoke of both the potential and precarious nature of the 56-seat majority and 12pt lead the poll gave the Labour party during their conference.

“Even the most optimistic Labour supporter would not have foreseen what was to come, such was the subsequent Conservative collapse, and therefore this latest MRP model reflects the position now, of two parties experiencing widely differing electoral fortunes.”

However, he said the pollster “must still express caution” and stressed that Sunak could yet fight back before the next election, which is expected in 2024.

He said: “Many seats going to Labour in this model, including a few that could be deemed ‘red wall’, still indicate a 40% or higher chance of remaining Conservative, and while that would have little impact on the overall election result, it does show that if Rishi Sunak can keep narrowing that Labour lead, point-by-point, the actual results come 2024 could look very different to this nowcast model.”
