A sizeable survey of more than 2000 Brits was conducted between January 22nd and 24th by Opinion Research and Nepean. The results for some might seem astonishing, but to be honest, they were in line with what I have been saying for some time now.
Let’s have a gander at the data and see what the British public are saying at this moment in time.
S1: Our government confronts a crisis of trust. While the pillars of our society lay broken, we now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home while at the same time stumbling into a catalogue of catastrophic events abroad.
A1: 57% agree with the statement whilst 25% disagree.
S2: Our nation can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency. We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than manynations in the world.
A2: 64% agree with the statement whilst 22% disagree.
S3: Our nation fails to protect our law-abiding UK citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals that have illegally entered our country from all over the world.
A3: 61% agree with the statement whilst 26% disagree.
S4: Our nation needs to begin the complete restoration of Britain and the revolution of common sense.
A4: 58% agree with the statement whilst 21% disagree.
Each statement receives broadly twice the number in agreement compared with those who don’t agree. In essence, the British people have just confirmed that they are aligned more to the policies of President Trump than to our Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
In an interesting twist, further questions were asked to ascertain some precise clarity. The following are a series of statements, and the responses are more than just interesting.
S5: Declare a national emergency in the Channel and begin the process of returning thousands and thousands of criminal migrants back to the places from which they came.
A5: 58% agree with the statement whilst 26% disagree.
S6: Begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect UK workers and families. Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.
A6: 56% agree with the statement whilst 23% disagree.
S7: After years and years of efforts to restrict free expression, immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech.
A7: 53% agree with the statement whilst 26% disagree.
S8: End social engineering ethnicity and gender into every aspect of public and private life and forge a society that is colour-blind, and merit based.
A8: 53% agree with the statement whilst 23% disagree.
S9: The official policy of the UK government will be that there are only two genders, male and female.
A9: 51% agree with the statement whilst 32% disagree.
The Labour Party is 180 degrees out of phase with where the nation is on the very core of what makes our nation. Had it not been for Reform UK taking votes away from the Conservatives at the last election, Labour might still have won, but the majority would have been slender. Today Starmer enjoys a massive majority not because the nation is with him. He does so because our ‘First Past the Post’ electoral system worked in his favour.
Less than a year on from the general election, today the polling is tight between the duopoly of Labour and the Tories, but now Reform UK have joined the party to potentially share the riches.
| Lab | Con | Reform UK | Lib Dems |
Opinium | 28% | 21% | 27% | 11% |
Techne | 25% | 24% | 24% | 13% |
Find Out Now | 22% | 23% | 26% | 12% |
YouGov | 26% | 22% | 24% | 14% |
More In Common | 24% | 25% | 25% | 12% |
Deltapoll | 29% | 25% | 22% | 11% |
JL Partners | 26% | 25% | 22% | 13% |
Survation | 30% | 25% | 20% | 11% |
Many have gone crazy believing that Reform UK will now form the next government. There is always that possibility, however, for that to happen it will have to poll way more than 36% nationally, and even higher in those seats they wish to win. All possible, but will that happen? The jury is out on that. Our FPTP system is difficult for a third party to crack. Whilst Reform UK are doing great, if they don’t do better, than it is likely that we will see them taking votes away from the Tories and allowing Labour to grab seats by default. Maybe come 2028, Tories and Reform UK might just have to sit down and have that difficult conversation of an alliance to ensure the madness of a Labour victory is not realised again by their in-fighting.
The nation is clearly centre-right on many core issues. For our nation to have a far-left Labour Party in power is just utter madness. This disconnect is not good for the nation. At some point civic society will breakdown, and at that point, all the extremists from all sides will take it as a green signal to cause anarchy.
