This market will resolve to the next individual who is officially appointed as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. To count for resolution, the individual must be officially appointed by the United Kingdom Monarch. Any interim or caretaker Prime Minister will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Prime Minister is appointed by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No Next PM in 2026”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of the United Kingdom; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus prices no leadership change through 2026 at 35%, reflecting Labour's large parliamentary majority from the July 2024 general election, which insulates Prime Minister Keir Starmer against no-confidence votes or snap elections absent a major crisis. Recent budget measures by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, including winter fuel payment cuts and inheritance tax hikes on farms, have sparked backbench rebellions and public backlash, eroding Starmer's approval ratings and boosting Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner's odds to 20.5% as a popular left-wing successor. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband at 10.4% benefits from his prominent net zero agenda, while Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's 8.6% captures rising opposition polls amid Labour's early stumbles. Watch 2025 local elections for potential pressure points.
