More in Common have released their first MRP of the new Parliament which reveals a dramatic shift in Britain’s electoral dynamics. The model estimates that an election today would produce a highly fragmented and unstable Parliament with 5 parties holding over 30 seats. While Labour would still emerge on top, they would have barely a third of the total number of seats, and a lead of just six seats over the Conservatives, while Reform UK emerges as the third largest party on 72 seats.
Today, Labour unveils one of its flagship policies – a set of workplace reforms intended to “make work pay”. Our polling shows the proposals chime with broad public support for workplace reform – with half of Britons agreeing that employee rights need to be strengthened.
The 2024 UK General Election campaign ended in a landslide victory for the Labour Party, with the result delivering a three-digit parliamentary majority on the lowest vote share for a single governing party in electoral history. The outcome reflects both a successful targeting strategy by Labour and a strong desire among voters for change after 14 years of Conservative government. However, the 2024 election also pointed to a wider discontent with our political system that goes beyond one party or government. Discontent that if not addressed threatens to undermine the foundations of Britain’s democratic settlement.
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.
New research from More in Common finds that the public are increasingly making a distinction between how they vote on local and national politics Voters want mayors to focus on crime, high streets, transport and the local environment Incumbent mayors are bucking the national trend and providing an antidote to voter cynicism Strong preference for local champions rather than extensions of national parties
