Pollster shows how Nigel Farage COULD become prime minister in 2029 with shocking graph
Reform UK could “make Nigel Farage Prime Minister if the party reaches 28 per cent support,” according to a shocking new analysis from Electoral Calculus.
Martin Baxter, who runs Electoral Calculus, revealed to GB News that such a scenario would make Reform the largest party in the House of Commons, potentially leading to Farage “becoming Prime Minister with Conservative support.”
The electoral expert shared his predictions through a detailed graph showing the relationship between Reform’s vote share and potential parliamentary seats.
He said: “The graph here is showing the number of seats that Reform will win, under our predictions, against the vote share they get.
“But the interesting thing is that, at the moment, they’re on 15 per cent support and just five seats.
“If they get up to 25 per cent support in the polls, they get about 100 seats.”

He added: “So, depending how many people support them, the more support they get, the more seats they get.
“The really interesting thing for the year ahead is, if they do a bit better than 25 [per cent], if they can push through that, they might or they might not, but if they get up to 28 per cent, it’s only slightly more, they’re actually the largest party in the House of Commons, and Nigel Farage might be the Prime Minister with Conservative support.”
The analysis comes as Reform UK has seen a significant surge in recent polling, currently sitting at 15 per cent with five MPs.
