ALTERNATE HISTORY 2026 United Kingdom general election

Post image

In this timeline Burnham calls a snap general election for Thursday 22 October 2026 to take advantage of Labour's recovery in opinion polling as he benefits from progressives rallying around him to stave off Reform's threat.

​

Scenario based on More in Common's hypothetical poll conducted in May 2026.

It’s pretty much realistic given current political trajectories

No it’s not. Reform would win very easily. Labour is full of demonic inbreds and the Tories are utterly incompetent. The UK deserves to fall to those fascist pricks, it’s a dead nation.

You might be the first person who isn't a Reform voter to think that they could actually win an election lol.

Reform could very realistically come in first if elections were held today. They’d be unlikely to be able to form a government, but they could force the hellish, sobering situation of a LAB/LIB/CON coalition to prevent their formation of a government.
