The support rate of the British Labour Party has dropped to a record low, and Stammer is facing a severe challenge

According to the latest poll by YouGov, the support rate of the Labour Party led by British Prime Minister Stammer has dropped to the lowest level on record, highlighting that as a left-wing party, the Labour Party is facing increasingly severe challenges from the rise of the Green Party.

Bloomberg reported that the survey, released on Tuesday (October 28), pointed out that if a general election were held tomorrow, only 17% of respondents said they would vote for the Labor Party. Reform UK, the right-wing party led by Farage, topped the list with a 27% support rate. The Green Party recorded 16%, setting a new record since YouGov established its data series in 2001. The Conservative Party and the Labour Party both have 17%, while the Liberal Democrats have 15%.

At least five political parties have a support rate of 15% or more. This survey highlights the increasingly fragmented trend in the UK's political landscape. Although Starmer may not hold the next general election until mid-2029 at the latest, the Labour Party is under pressure from all sides. Because the local elections to be held in May next year have been regarded by some within the party as a "life-and-death battle" that concerns Starmer's leadership position.

Since the Reform Party took the lead in the local elections in May this year, Stammer has tried to weaken the threat of the populist party by making tough statements on the immigration issue. However, under the leadership of Zack Polanski, the Green Party, with its clear proposition of "raising taxes on the rich" and effective social media strategies, has become a strong challenger to Farage's "populist response" from the left, indicating that the Labor Party also faces the risk of votes flowing to the left.
