Reform UK (the latest incarnation of the Brexit Party) have been polling at around 10% to 15% for the past few weeks and hit a record high of 15% with Yougov today:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election
Will they poll at 20% or above before the general election?
Market notes:
The only polls which count are those carried out by members of the British Polling Council (all the pollsters you see on the Wiki page are members) and must be of the whole of the UK or GB. No polls of swing voters, marginal constituencies, etc. would count.
The poll must be of general election voting intention. So no nationwide polling for local elections or hypothetical things like “how would you vote if Farage was leader of the Conservatives” would count
If a poll is released with a headline figure of Reform on 20%, this market will resolve to YES even if digging into the data shows that it would have been 19.x% before rounding
Where possible I will use the table at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election as the source of truth for this market. If the criteria for inclusion or reporting on that page changes to the point where that isn’t possible, I will base this on the primary polling data. If there are any shenanigans or it looks like anyone has edited the Wiki page to manipulate this market, I will resolve based on the spirit of the market rather than this source.

That poll from PeoplePolling looks like a bit of an outlier, but it definitely counts for this market. This resolves to YES!
Just how well can Reform do, and just how badly can the Tories do? Predict here:
