London, Thanasis Gavos
The main opposition Labor Party’s biggest lead over the ruling Conservatives has ever been recorded, four companies in Britain have revealed in their latest polls.
In the most impressive measurement, from the YouGov company, Sir Keir Starmer’s Labor leads Liz Truss’s Tories by 33 percentage points in the intention to vote, namely 54% to 21%.
It is the highest the Labor Party has ever recorded in a company poll and also the highest of any political poll in the country since the late 1990s.
It is also noteworthy that only 37% of respondents who voted Conservative in 2019 state that they will remain loyal to the party in the next election.
A first breakdown of these figures gives Labor 498 out of 650 seats in the House of Commons, 296 MPs more than the party’s current parliamentary strength. On the contrary, the Conservatives lose 304 seats, leaving only 61 MPs.
The poll took place on Wednesday and Thursday in the wake of falling sterling, rising government borrowing costs and warnings of a further spike in interest rates after the Trudeau government’s mini-budget. It was also preceded by Mr Starmer’s speech to the Labor conference in which he asked citizens “not to forget, not to forgive” the Tory government.
Survation gives Labor a lead of 21 percentage points (49%-28%), Redfield & Wilton Strategies 17 points (46%-29%) and Deltapoll 19 points (48%-29%).
The latest poll, in fact, shows that the Labor Party is regaining the so-called “Red Wall” districts in the north of England that voted for Tories and Boris Johnson for the first time in 2019. Mr Starmer’s party is also winning 18% of voters who voted Conservative in 2019.
