SNP would overtake Tories in UK snap election to become second biggest Westminster party, poll suggests

The SNP would overtake the Tories and become Westminster's second party in a UK snap election, a new poll suggests. The survey of 28,000 people by Find Out Now and Electoral Calculus found that the Tories would be left with fewer seats in a general election today.

SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn would become the Leader of the Opposition. The figures showed that Labour would win 49 per cent of the UK-wide vote and the Tories would only take 23 per cent.

Labour would then win 509 out of the 650 seats. This would be a gain of 306 seats. The SNP would be the next biggest party with 50 MPs, up from the 48 they won in 2019.
