LONDON – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is on the verge of losing his seat and neither of the two major political parties is likely to win an absolute majority in the next general election, only in 2024, according to a new poll.
This is the first detailed survey of the public’s perception of Johnson’s handling of the recently concluded Brexit talks and the COVID-19 pandemic after he made plans to bring families together in parts of the south of England during Christmas to spread the word. to combat the virus, reversed.
More than 22,000 people were interviewed in December in a poll that was closely followed by constituency-constituency-constituency in December, conducted by research data company Focaldata and published by the Sunday Times.
The so-called poll on multilevel regression and post-stratification (MRP) found that the ruling Conservatives would lose 81 seats, which would eliminate the majority of 80 seats. That would leave the Conservatives with 284 seats, while the opposition Labor Party would win 282 seats, the poll showed.
The Scottish National Party, which wants to break away from the rest of the UK, is predicted to win 57 of the 59 seats in Scotland, meaning the party could potentially play a royal role in forming the next government.
The poll found that the prime minister would lose his seat in Uxbridge, west of London.
Johnson won a landslide victory in the election last year that enabled him to take Britain out of the European Union on New Year’s Eve after almost half a century of close ties.
But Johnson’s premiership can be increasingly defined by the government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has already killed more than 74,000 people and shattered the economy.
