In the event that Tory leadership candidate, Rory Stewart would become the next Prime Minister the new poll has shown that the Brexit Party would be the largest party in the Commons. According to The Daily Telegraph, the poll, created by ComRes also showed that Nigel Farage’s party would claim 252 seats in parliament. Speaking on the new data, Electoral Calculus’, Martin Baxter highlighted the vote change from the Tories to the Brexit party in the event that Mr Stewart would win the leadership race.
Mr Baxter added: “Choosing Rory Stewart could push even more disaffected Conservatives to vote for the Brexit Party and might propel Nigel Farage toward Number 10.
“The next general election will be won by whoever can unite the most voters to their party.”
The news comes as several Tory leadership contenders launched their respective campaigns on Tuesday, including Mr Stewart.
On Wednesday, Boris Johnson will premier his leadership campaign based on the proviso that a delay to Brexit could allow Jeremy Corbyn into Number 10.
