If membership offers a snapshot of the social traction political parties have, these are pause for thought:
Labour: down from 330k at the election to 250k now;
Reform: their website (but unaudited figures) show currently 268k;
Tories: in the summer, 120k;
Green Party of England & Wales: up from 126k to 180 since Zac Polanski became leader;
Lib Dems: in August, 83k, down a little on the previous year...
Leaving Reform (if their count is accurate) with most members!
