According to a report in the The Daily Telegraph and the independent on the 28th, a YouGov poll released on the same day showed that support for the Labour Party led by British Prime Minister Stamer fell to an all-time low, with just 17 per cent of the electorate, it lags well behind the Reform Party. media said the result dealt a heavy blow to labour and raised further questions about Stamer’s leadership.
Only 17 per cent of voters backed labour, the same proportion as those who backed the Conservatives, while the reformist party continued to surge to 27 per cent, according to the poll. The Greens’ 16% approval rating is the highest in any party poll, followed by the Lib Dems at 15% . The Daily Telegraph pointed out that Labour’s current poll performance was below the record low of 18 per cent set during the previous conservative sunak administration, indicating deepening public dissatisfaction with the government. The Stamer administration has suffered a string of setbacks — not only in by-elections in the Cavelli constituency in Wales, but also in criticism of its chaotic immigration policies, according to media analysis. The Stamer administration’s confusion over immigration has been highlighted by two incidents in the past week, in which an illegal immigrant who had been deported returned days later and a sex offender was mistakenly released from prison.
“The independent” 28 in the article stressed that the poll results show that the Labor Party is facing double pressure from the left and right wings. On the one hand, the right-wing Reform Party has attracted a large number of traditional voters who are unhappy with the government. The left-wing greens, on the other hand, are rising among the young. Labour’s popularity among younger voters is rapidly losing ground, with figures showing it garnering just 21 per cent of support among 18-to 24-year-olds.
British pollsters and politicians are looking ahead to next year’s local elections, as well as parliamentary elections in Scotland and Wales, which they see as a serious challenge for Labour.
