And 21 percent supported Labour, according to the poll conducted by More in Common.
Reform has also emerged as a clear winner among people opting for staycations and those who enjoy pub gardens. Ed Hodgson from More in Common commented, “Traditionally in British elections, voting patterns have closely followed social classes. However, this poll indicates that these long-standing divisions are becoming less distinct.”
‘The discovery from Wimbledon is notably surprising… typically regarded as an emblem of middle-class Britain, the crowd at Wimbledon does not align with the stereotype associated with Reform’s supporters.’
He commented, “With growing dissatisfaction towards conventional political parties, numerous traditional supporters of the Conservatives might be inclined to cast their votes for Reform… It’s evident that Labour’s support among voters is weakening. According to observers from Glastonbury, Reform currently holds the second position at the festival—a notable change considering how previously it was dominated by some of Britain’s most forward-thinking groups.”
