How many MPs do Reform UK have?
Reform UK, despite polling at 22 per cent, currently has no elected Members of Parliament. The party has struggled to translate its poll numbers into parliamentary representation due to the UK's 'first past the post' electoral system. This makes their current strong polling a significant, but potentially misleading, indicator of their political power.
