The accompanying landslide came courtesy of an electoral system that rewarded Keir Starmer and his party with a huge majority despite their securing just over a third of the popular vote. Enabling this striking outcome was the collapse of the ruling Conservatives, who lost almost half their electoral support, together with the marked decline in the fortunes of the Scottish National Party.  

While the Labour vote share was slightly more than that it had obtained in 2019, the party’s number of MPs more than doubled in a reversal of that defeat. The new government was, however, far from the only beneficiary from the Conservatives’ electoral woes. Like Labour, the Liberal Democrats combined a modest improvement in their vote share with a substantial increase in their parliamentary representation.

The Greens similarly enjoyed a good result, returning four MPs for the first time. While most opposition parties made progress at the Conservatives’ expense, none appeared to have as much a role in engineering the dramatic electoral downfall of Rishi Sunak’s government as Reform UK.

When Prime Minister Sunak called the election, Nigel Farage was not the leader nor even a prospective candidate for his new party. Seven weeks later he was finally an MP speaking on behalf of his five strong Reform parliamentary grouping.
