Is there any data to back this up (e.g. YouGov polling)? The general election isn't for ages and we've just collectively decided that these idiots can have power next because it's their turn..?

Edit: It would have been easy for someone to link to some data: https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/53059-yougov-mrp-shows-a-reform-uk-government-a-near-certainty-if-an-election-were-held-tomorrow

However even with that polling, the next general election isn't tomorrow. So are we just going to lie down and let these dickheads control the UK?
