More in Common have released their first MRP of the new Parliament which reveals a dramatic shift in Britain’s electoral dynamics. The model estimates that an election today would produce a highly fragmented and unstable Parliament with 5 parties holding over 30 seats. While Labour would still emerge on top, they would have barely a third of the total number of seats, and a lead of just six seats over the Conservatives, while Reform UK emerges as the third largest party on 72 seats.

Following Labour’s highly anticipated — and somewhat dreaded — Autumn Statement, polling by More in Common shows mixed public reactions. Alongside some highly popular policies and a small improvement in the government’s approval ratings, the budget has left some Britons with a persisting sense of pessimism. Labour now faces the challenge of restoring the public’s trust and delivering on their economic promises.
