The Reform leader was frequently identified as the individual most likely to provoke a disagreement.
The Conservative leader was viewed as the best candidate to prepare Christmas lunch, while Sir Keir Starmer was the most common choice for who would likely burn the turkey.
When asked who would be most prone to engage in an argument on Christmas Day, Mr. Farage topped the list across all age demographics.
In terms of who people would prefer to spend Christmas Day with, the Reform leader ranked first in most age groups, except for those aged 25-34, who favored the Prime Minister as their top choice.
Among respondents aged 65 and older, Mr. Farage and Ms. Badenoch were nearly tied, with 28 percent and 27.9 percent, respectively.
The survey also explored opinions beyond just party leaders.
While 25.4 percent of participants believed Santa Claus would not cast a vote, among those who thought he would, (16.2 percent) and Labour (15.6 percent) were the most popular selections, followed by the Conservatives and Greens (both at 11.1 percent).
Among voters, respondents were most likely to assert that Santa would vote for the party they personally support.
Jules Walkden, a pollster at Public First, stated: “Most Brits desire a politics-free Christmas. However, if the leaders were to show up, the public envisions Farage turning dinner into a dispute, Badenoch managing the kitchen cabinet more effectively than the Shadow Cabinet, and Starmer incinerating the turkey.
“It’s a light-hearted inquiry, but the responses reflect how the public perceives these figures – Farage is viewed as more likely to incite conflict, while Starmer is more frequently associated with things going awry.”
