Tories more popular among working class than rich, new general election poll shows
The Conservative Party now has more support among working-class voters than the upper classes, according to a new poll which predicts that Boris Johnson will win a 110-seat majority at the general election. The exclusive Savanta ComRes survey for The Daily Telegraph found that 43 per cent of voters from the DE social group are prepared to vote for the Tories on December 12, up from 35 per cent in 2017. The poll found 40 per cent of AB voters plan to back Mr Johnson compared to 46 per cent who were prepared to vote for Theresa May two years ago. As champions of free-market capitalism, the Conservatives have always traditionally been seen as the party of the rich. However, since the UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016, the largely Remain voting so-called metropolitan liberal elite have pivoted to the Liberal Democrats. Conversely, working-class Leave voters are increasingly backing the Prime Minister’s promise to ‘get Brexit do Asked if Jeremy Corbyn’s failure to tackle anti-Semitism within his own party shows he is unfit to be Prime Minister, 55 per cent agreed and 21 per cent disagreed. The British public appears to be more confident in Mr Johnson keeping control of Britain’s borders than Mr Corbyn, with 42 per cent suggesting the Conservatives would be the most likely to control immigration compared to only 12 per cent who thought Labour would. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...eral-election/ |

People like easy solutions, so when the government that forces austerity on you and your lives tells you it's because of europe and immigrants, which is backed up by the media you consume, then of course you'll trust them.
Tory folks like Raab and Patel wrote a book in which they called the british workers lazy, but yeah, have at it. Enjoy your hard brexit and the more austerity that will follow it, and then enjoy the tories blaming you for it. Stockholm syndrome.

I mean, I'm talking about groups being used against the British people to divide and conquer. It's been a complete success for the tories as your post highlights. Priti Patel is using Romanies and immigration again today as a way to stoke up fears amongst voters. Anyone comparing tory demonisation and white displacement theories to labour wanting to renationalise has no idea what they're talking about.

What amazes me, day after day, is the blind confidence that the Left have in their own opinions. Everyone else is wrong, stupid and ill-informed. But they're not. And they're here on a Big Brother forum to let the dozen or so people who might read this, how clever and woke they are.

Surveys have shown that DE social groups are more Leave supporting and the AB social groups are more Remain supporting. |

The traditional focus of the tories on small business and prudent management of the economy has all but vanished too, thats what previous generations voted for, so I'm not surprised their support base is changing.
I was a traditional tory voter and I wouldn't vote for Boris in a million years. |

Their popularity with the middle classes upwards was always based in the perception of them being "the financially responsible party", or to use their own recent mantra, "Strong and Stable". As things stand in 2019... the Tories with Brexit have created the most financially irresponsible, unpredictable and unstable situations in the history of the UK.
Whilst the working classes have started to see them as the "daddy no-nonsense" party who is going to get rid of Johnny Foreigner wots causing all the problems and delivering Brexit "for the people". They're going to sweep this election but in the long run they are in serious, serious trouble... their new support is fickle and HEAVILY rooted in the Brexit debate, it'll slip through their fingers like sand when it's (eventually) done, however it ends, but they will never regain the "sensible vote" of the middle-income middle-class that they've thrown to the wolves. |

One is for crimes committed in his own country. Any British person committed crimes in this country then moved abroad? Any horrific trafficking stories involving British people happened recently? Scaremongering only works on people that share your prejudices to begin with. Using things like this to justify racism is to be wholly expected unfortunately.

Just shows how dumb the voting public are, and how easily they'll vote against their own interests if you spin them a lie they'll like more than the truth.
The area I live in is on a complete lock when it comes to the Tory vote and this area struggles with unemployment and dependency on benefits. People here have suffered under Tory led initiatives like Universal Credit and harsh sanctions that are designed to entrap vulnerable people yet they'll forget that as soon as the Tories speak about Brexit or immigrants. The voting public, by large, are incredibly stupid. |

My confidence in my opinion is not 'blind'... I have never suggested anyone else is wrong or stupid. It stands to reason that if opinions are opposed each regards the other as misinformed. Mocking my posts on this forum as 'woke' ( as a left leaning member) has not and will not prevent me from posting. That should not amaze you.
