There's a stereotypical view in Westminster of people who live in the Red Wall as being somehow unique, but how far is it accurate?

@PME_Politics shows that on most issues the views of Red Wall residents are the same as the population as a whole

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic… Image
Across a clutch of social issues, people in Red Wall constituencies think the same way as the rest of the British public - and, contrary to some claims, they are more socially liberal than socially conservative

yougov.co.uk/topics/politic… Image
Red Wall residents are, however, somewhat more pro-Brexit than the nation as a whole - but like all Britons, they are very split on how well Brexit is being handled
