As the UK general election results begin to roll in, the exit poll prediction is causing quite a stir. According to the poll, Labour is expected to win in a landslide victory, securing a majority of 170 MPs. This would mark a significant change in the political landscape, with the Conservatives predicted to slump to their lowest number of MPs in post-war history, at just 131 seats.
The Liberal Democrats are projected to come in third with 61 MPs, while the Scottish National Party is expected to see a decrease in their number of MPs to just 10. Reform UK is forecast to secure 13 seats, with the Green Party of England and Wales doubling their number of MPs to two and Plaid Cymru set to have four MPs. Others are predicted to get 19 seats.
For the past five UK general elections, the exit poll has been fairly accurate, with a margin of error of just 1.5 to 7.5 seats. BBC’s Jeremy Vine delves into where the Conservatives may have lost seats, shedding light on the possible reasons behind their decline in predicted numbers.
