Fascinating to see the clarity from 2024’s ex-Conservative voters (as they see it) on most of the international and ‘anti-West’ issues (eg mass immigration and DEI policies etc), but not on Climate or Tax. I was initially surprised, but then (given my stats background) we are talking about ex-Con voters which includes in turn a lot of previous Red Wall. I think this causes the split. In time I think it will become clearer that the social security ‘protection’ that people currently want cannot be provided by government or by DEI ‘equity’ sub-legislation, as public service provision erodes despite Labour maintaining public funding. Then a sense of markets being better than protective government might be the feeling in the centre ground by 2027-29. And a large state invites more DEI. So Reform could gently stay right on Climate and Tax while the electorate moves towards them?
