The full list of 98 seats where Reform placed second

By 8 Mins Read

Reform UK secured the third-largest vote out of all UK political parties in the 2024 General Election, despite the party only being formed within the past few years.

The party, led by Nigel Farage, won 14 per cent of the vote, behind the Labour Party’s 34 per cent and the Conservative Party’s 24 per cent.

However, Reform UK gained just five seatsseats, due to the first-past-the-post system. The vote share meant the party came second place in 98 constituencies.

The Liberal Democrats, meanwhile, won 71 constituencies, despite getting just 12 per cent of the overall vote.

The Green Party won four seats with a 6.8 per cent vote.

Pollster Professor Matthew Goodwin predicted Reform UK could potentially win seats in by-elections in 2028/29, after the Conservative vote plummeted in the “most pro-Brexit” parts of the country.

He told GB News: “Reform, overall, the vote’s gone up 13 per cent but what’s happened is the Conservatives have basically collapsed in the most pro-Brexit parts of the country.

“If you look at the less Brexity seats, the Conservative vote ’s gone down 12 points but, get this, it has gone down by nearly 30 points in the most pro-Brexit seats.”

He said of Reform UK: “What they’ve basically done is they’ve caused all this damage to the Conservatives while also finishing second in a large swathe of Labour seats.

“So what does that mean for the 2024/29 parliament? It means it’s there’s by-elections, Farage is probably going to end up winning quite a few of those. Local elections? Well, if he’s organised, he’s going to end up doing quite well in those too.”

In their first General Election, the party placed second in 98 constituencies. GB News has compiled the full list of places where Reform UK came second.

While it was a close contest in some constituencies, other Reform UK candidates got tens of thousands fewer votes than the winner.
