A MAJOR poll has found that Reform UK would pick up multiple Westminster seats in Scotland if a General Election were held today.
The survey by YouGov – its first MRP since June – found that Reform UK would also become the largest party in Westminster with 311 MPs. This includes five MPs in Scotland.
The poll, based on a sample of 13,000 taken over the last three weeks, found that Labour would have just 144 seats, making it the second biggest party in Westminster.
Meanwhile, the LibDems would have 78 MPs and the Tories would come in fourth at just 45 MPs – losing 75 seats.
The SNP look set to gain seats, with the poll predicting they will go from a total of nine to 37 MPs, making them the biggest party in Scotland.
However, Reform UK would also make gains in Scotland, with the poll showing Nigel Farage's party picking up seats for the first time.
As reported by Sky News, Reform UK would pick up five seats in the south of Scotland as well as Ayrshire.
This includes Dumfries and Galloway, Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale, Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk, Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock as well as Central Ayrshire.
The MRP (which stands for Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification) poll is not a forecast, but an estimate of what could happen. It is based on thousands of people and links voters and characteristics to help with its projection.
