A Reform UK majority at the next general election could mean female representation in parliament drops to around one in four, according to new analysis.

Campaigners at 50:50 Parliament have warned that, if the current opinion polls are accurate, women’s equality could fall significantly for the first time in over 100 years.

Using Electoral Calculus polling data and a seat-level analysis, the campaigners found female representation could fall from 41% to 26% if Nigel Farage’s party continues to be the most popular party in British politics.
