In order of total number of votes:
Labour: 9.6M
Conservative: 6.7M
Reform: 4M
LibDem: 3.5M
Green: 1.9M
SNP: 0.7M
Independent: 0.6M
(Everybody else seems to be below 0.2M)
And now for the depressing thought: Reform is the 3rd party by number of votes. It seems the UK is well in line to follow exactly the same pattern as most of Europe did in the past decade, and see the far-right swallow the center-right, with a very weak center-left unable to stop them winning the next elections.
