Public opinion a year after the General Election
A year after the 2024 General Election, new research from More in Common and the UCL Policy Lab finds a country still waiting for change, but increasingly unsure whether the new government will deliver it. Many Britons feel disappointed by Labour’s first year, and question whether there has been a meaningful improvement on many of the big issues facing the country. But the public has not given up hope: most still want Labour to succeed, and a renewed focus on showing respect for ordinary people, tackling everyday frustrations, and delivering visible progress on the NHS and cost of living could help rebuild trust.
