A substantial opinion poll of 14,000 individuals conducted by YouGov suggests that Conservatives in the UK are potentially heading towards an electoral wipeout reminiscent of the 1997 scenario, forecasting a 120-seat majority for Labour led by Sir Keir Starmer, with Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Tories potentially holding as few as 169 seats; further details from the Telegraph newspaper reveal that all “red wall” seats won by Boris Johnson in 2019 may be lost in the upcoming general election, with Chancellor Jeremy Hunt among 11 Cabinet ministers facing potential defeat in what could be the most significant collapse in support for a governing party since 1906; additional insights from the polling suggest that support for Reform UK could play a decisive role in 96 Tory losses, even though the party associated with Nigel Farage may not secure any seats, while the SNP might also experience setbacks; commissioned by a group of Tory donors collaborating with former Brexit negotiator Lord David Frost, the research employed the multi-level regression and post-stratification method, raising concerns within the Conservative party about their electoral prospects under Sunak; prominent figures such as Simon Clarke, a former Cabinet minister, express concern, labeling the potential outcome as a “disaster” and emphasizing the need for decisive actions to avoid destruction; other notable Tories projected to lose their seats include Defence Secretary Grant Shapps, Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt, and Attorney General Victoria Prentis, though the details of the research have yet to be reviewed by the PA news agency.
