Rise of the online right: who are the dissenting disruptors?
In a new report the pollster More in Common places a fifth of adults — 11 million people — in a populist right segment called “dissenting disruptors”. This group, spanning all ages and all parts of Britain, is united by a deep distrust of the establishment. Almost all its members (94 per cent) say politicians lack respect for people like them. Nearly half believe Britain could face a civil war within the next decade (“Bring back Guy Fawkes — I’ll help him,” says Helen, another dissenting disruptor, from Derbyshire.)

Pub closures to cost Labour votes in local elections
The British Beer & Pub Association, which is running its own Long Live the Local campaign, commissioned research by the polling firm More in Common on public attitudes towards pub closures.
...
Luke Tryl, executive director at More in Common, said: “One thing comes through really strongly in this polling – the British public really care about pubs, they think they are a central part of their community and they don’t think the Government is doing enough to protect them.
“In fact, over half of voters blame national or local government for pub closures and want to see politicians at all levels doing more to stand up for them.
“At a time when the Government already finds itself struggling with a restless electorate, a wave of further pub closures will only reinforce the frustration that those in charge are unable or unwilling to deliver for local communities across Britain.”

'Even Corbyn at his worst never lost here': how bad will it be for Labour in Wales?
The willingness to embrace change is a story playing out across Wales. I attended five focus groups with More in Common and, despite queasiness about Labour, no voter openly said they would back Nigel Farage’s Reform UK on 7 May.

Too late to turn to Europe? How Kier Starmer's Brexit reset ran out of road
“If the Brexit referendum were held today, half of the public say they would vote Remain, compared to just over a quarter who would vote Leave,” says Luke Tryl, executive director of More in Common, while cautioning that nearly half the public still believe Brexit could have succeeded but was mishandled by politicians.

Build a voter: Britons are more politically promiscuous than ever
Using data from More In Common, a polling firm, The Economist has built a model which calculates the probability of a voter supporting a party based on eight demographic characteristics—sex, age, ethnicity, region, education, employment status, type of housing and whether it is in a rural or urban area. We created 275,000 permutations of every characteristic to represent each of Britain’s 55m adults. We find that over the past two years more voters have swung away from the party they last voted for than ever before.

Polanski’s breast enlargement claim puts public off Greens
Zack Polanski’s claim that he could enlarge women’s breasts through hypnotherapy has put people off voting for the Green Party, polling has shown.
A poll by More in Common found that a third (33 per cent) of voters would consider voting for the Greens.
That figure fell to 16 per cent once voters were told about remarks made by Mr Polanski, who leads the insurgent hard-Left party.
