From Glastonbury festival goers to pub garden enthusiasts: How your summer plans indicate which political party you're likely to vote for
@Source: dailymail.co.uk
Middle-class voters are turning to Reform UK, with more Wimbledon fans saying they will vote for Nigel Farage’s party than any other. Even Glastonbury festival-goers are following suit – with Reform coming in second behind Labour among people planning to watch it this summer. A poll of voters and their summer plans has shown the party is appealing to people with traditionally middle-class hobbies. Fans of the Grand Prix and the Women’s Rugby World Cup are now more likely to back Reform than any other party. And 28 per cent of Wimbledon fans would vote for Reform, with 23 per cent backing the Conservatives and 21 per cent Labour, the poll by More in Common found. Reform also wins with a landslide among staycationers and pub garden enthusiasts. Ed Hodgson, of More in Common, said: ‘In Britain, voters have traditionally voted along class lines – and this polling shows how many of those boundaries are now blurring. ‘The Wimbledon finding is particularly striking... often seen as a marker of middle-class Britain, Wimbledon’s audience doesn’t fit the caricature of Reform’s base.’ He added: ‘As disillusionment with mainstream politics spreads, it is possible many of these Conservative loyalists will consider voting for Reform... There are clear signs of Labour’s fraying voter base. Among Glastonbury watchers, Reform are in second place – a significant shift for a festival that once epitomised Britain’s most progressive groups.’ Tour de France fans are still safely Tory, while people who plan to watch the BBC Proms are most likely to vote Labour. A spokesman for Reform UK said: ‘If we carry on like this, we look forward to receiving Nigel’s invitation to speak on the Pyramid Stage this summer.’
