Reform UK and the Green Party are both making tracks throughout deprived areas of England but our recent research reveals that each party’s success comes from different domains of deprivation. Where Green and Reform voters find common ground is a loss of faith in Britain’s political institutions and a desire to “just let them all burn.”
On the eve of the government’s second Budget, the Doom Loop feels deeper still. In this briefing, we look at the public’s expectations and preferences, and the political stakes for the Government.
The cost of living has remained as Britons’ top concern since More in Common started our biggest issues tracker in 2022. The high energy bills they have had to manage are a dominant driver of these cost of living concerns.
On the eve of a significant vote on the government’s welfare reforms, our polling shows a lack of confidence in the government’s ability to make fair decisions about disability benefits. At the same time, weeks of high-profile disputes have cut through: Labour is now seen as the most divided party.
With London Climate Action Week underway, new More in Common polling finds that low trust in both energy companies and the government is leading the public to increasingly believe that corporate greed, rather than what is right for the British public, is driving energy policy – undermining trust in the climate transition.
In October 2024, More in Common published Doom Loop, a report on public opinion on the economy ahead of the Autumn Budget. That study highlighted deep economic pessimism among the public, concern that things were going backwards and tough choices facing the Chancellor. New polling from More in Common reveals that since the budget, this sense of doom has only deepened. The public are both deeply anxious and pessimistic about the economy, with little faith in the Government’s ability to make things better.
Following Labour’s highly anticipated — and somewhat dreaded — Autumn Statement, polling by More in Common shows mixed public reactions. Alongside some highly popular policies and a small improvement in the government’s approval ratings, the budget has left some Britons with a persisting sense of pessimism. Labour now faces the challenge of restoring the public’s trust and delivering on their economic promises.
Polling by More in Common for E3G (the independent climate think tank) conducted after close of polls on Thursday finds that delivery on climate is emerging as a key test for Labour voters for the new government, and Sunak’s backtracking on climate deadlines seems to have have cost him votes to the Liberal Democrats and Labour.
Over the past year, More in Common and Kantar Public have surveyed over 10,000 people, to try and better understand what the British public thinks about issues of inequality, fairness and the gap between the haves and have nots. This longitudinal lens has allowed us to see the impact of the rising cost of living, from the beginnings of the crisis in Britain last winter to the present day, and how it has imprinted on public attitudes.
