New areas of unoccupied political ground on the right could present an opportunity for a Ukip comeback, new polling has found.

Large portions of the population feel disenfranchised and unrepresented, according to a YouGov poll, which experts believe presents a key opportunity for a Ukip resurgence.

Almost two fifths of Britons feel that the justice system is not harsh enough and that none of the major parties share their view. Similarly, 16 per cent feel that immigration restrictions should be tighter and ten per cent want the government to intervene more to encourage housebuilding, while feeling that no major party is representing them.

The findings suggest that there are large sections of the electorate who feel that they lack a voice in the major political parties.



Ukip should seize on the disenfranchised electorate

Not all of the under-represented are from the right, according to the YouGov poll.

Some 12 per cent of underrepresented voters want increased regulation of big business, while one in ten back government intervention in the housing sector. These policies are more commonly the territory of Labour and the Lib Dems.

But, with a track record of eating up the votes of traditionally Labour-backing social conservatives, experts such as Professor Travers argue that there is nothing to prevent Ukip from broadening their manifesto and campaigning on these issues.

"As for the other less traditionally right wing areas, such as regulating big business and more government intervention in house building, would Ukip feel comfortable supporting these policies? I believe they would."
