Nigel Farage 's Party would win a majority of 115 with 381 MPs in Westminster, a More in Common poll has found. In this hypothetical scenario, Reform UK would win 60% of the seats with 31% of the vote, while Labour would slump to just 85 seats, a loss of 326 seats from their July 2024 landslide.

Political races are already heating up in 2026 — and so is the flood of polling that will try to predict the outcomes. But, recent elections have reinforced a familiar lesson: Polls can be wrong, sometimes dramatically.

Republicans are fighting to retain their Senate majority in 2026 — and whether they do will likely hinge on a handful of battleground races.

Voters in military-controlled areas of Myanmar headed to the polls Sunday in a phased election largely considered a sham and expected to favor the junta-aligned Union Solidarity and Development Party.

Critics charge that the election is designed to add a facade of legitimacy to military rule. Final results are expected to be announced in late January.

Observers say the vote, accompanied by a renewed crackdown on dissent, is meant to entrench the junta's power.

In the lacklustre canvassing ahead of the polls, the USDP was the most visible. Founded in 2010, the year it won an election boycotted by the opposition, the party ran the country in concert with its military backers until 2015, when it was swept away by Suu Kyi's NLD.
