Over half of voters fear Labour being handed a ‘supermajority’ and the unchecked power it would give Keir Starmer

  • Around 38 per cent agree with Rishi Sunak that Labour will raise taxes 

More than half of voters are concerned about the risks of handing a ‘supermajority’ to Sir Keir Starmer on Thursday, according to a poll for The Mail on Sunday.

The Deltapoll survey found that 51 per cent are worried about the unchecked power a very large majority would give Starmer, while 37 per cent are not concerned.

But the largest proportion of voters, 28 per cent, think Labour will only be in power for one five-year term; 26 per cent say up to eight years.

Around 38 per cent agree with Rishi Sunak that taxes will rise under Labour.

Nigel Farage beats all likely Tory candidates as the best person to next lead the Conservative party, although his recent comments appearing to blame the West for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine have made 35 per cent of people less likely to vote for Reform UK; 11 per cent are more likely.

Labour retains a strong lead in the poll with 42 per cent of votes, 21 percentage points ahead of the Tories. Reform is on 16 per cent.

Deltapoll’s co-founder and director Joe Twyman said the results ‘set out just how bad the situation is for the Conservative Party’. 

‘Rather than the gap closing, as has happened in previous elections, it is Reform UK who have consistently improved their position,’ he said.

Deltapoll interviewed 1,645 British adults between June 27 and 29. The results have been weighted to be representative of the British adult population.
