18% of Britons say they are likely to consider voting for a new left-wing party led by Jeremy Corbyn

However, this is less than would consider voting for the existing major parties and has caveats... 🧵 Image
Just 32% of those who would consider voting for a Corbyn-led party say it is the party they are most likely to consider voting for, including only 9% saying it is the only party they would consider voting for (of the main national parties)

yougov.co.uk/politics/artic…Image
Which other parties would those considering a Corbyn-led party also be open to voting for?

Greens: 70%
Labour: 51%
Lib Dems: 48%
Reform UK: 11%
Conservatives: 5%

Top 5 reasons that 26% of 2024 Conservatives have defected to Reform UK in the year since the 2024 election

1. Trust them more on immigration: 56%
2. All other parties are worse: 41%
3. Better at standing up for people like me: 36%
4. Closer to my values: 25%
5. Better placed to win next election: 24%Image
Compared to those sticking with the party, Conservative defectors to Reform UK are more likely to be men (58% vs 44%), more likely to have voted Leave (80% vs 61%) and are older (83% are over 50 vs 75%)

yougov.co.uk/politics/artic…Image
While Conservative losses to Reform UK are more likely than loyalists to see immigration as a top issue facing the country (88% vs 64%), the two groups do not otherwise differ hugely on what are currently the most pressing problems in the UK
