Trend line showing average voting intention before the elections:
-
Reform UK - gaining over the time with recent polls showing 17% heading to 20%
-
Labor - losing over time with the chart showing 39% as a last figure.
Today, the election day, exit poll:
-
Reform UK - 13 seats of 650 = less than 2%
-
Labor - 410 seats out of 650 = 63%
These are not final results, just exit polls, but it looks shocking!

Then on the Live” page they say:
Labour is expected to win 410 seats, with the Conservatives on 131
and the video on the same page says (and the speaker reads it clear):
Keir Starker will become a Prime Minister with a majority of around 170 seats
How 170 is majority?
Yes but the voter share is likely higher than the Liberal Democrats. It is because we have a first past the post system, which sucks.
