A new poll suggests that Brexit scepticism could be on the rise among Conservative voters as more say Britain’s withdrawal from the EU has created more problems than it has solved.

New MRP polling and analysis of undecided voters, or the ‘Wavering Wall’, by Best for Britain suggests the majority are likely to be timid Tories. This landmark report found that despite the Labour Party’s consistent 20 point lead in the polls in the latter half of 2022, it would only deliver them a UK parliamentary majority of fewer than 30 seats.

In the end our government went almost 200 days without doing the bare minimum on standards, ethics and accountability.

New analysis of undecided voters shows the vast bulk of undecided voters cannot be won as easily by Labour as the Conservatives and are more likely to vote Tory at the next election.

Best for Britain has undertaken a major 10,000-response poll and seat-by-seat MRP investigation into how the parties would fare at a UK General Election and, crucially, what would happen in different election pact scenarios.

61% said the government should prioritise protecting British farmers, compared to just 20% who said that agreeing new trade deals was more important, and 19% said they didn’t know. The findings are based on a nationally representative poll of more than 1,500 adults taken by Opinium this week  for Best for Britain. Support for farmers is found among a majority of both Leavers and Remainers, voters of all parties, across all age groups and in all nations and regions of the UK, with the strongest support in the South West of England.

New Best for Britain polling found 52% of all voters support some form of electoral reform. That's coupled with fewer than two-fifths of people who believe their vote has made a difference to the final result in an election. Clearly UK voters want to see change.

Landmark new report from Best for Britain featuring insight and polling identifying UK voters' real views on working with the world. Having left the European Union, the UK finds itself at a crossroads. In 2021, it has a choice to become a convenor nation, a leader in a collaborative sense, to overcome the global challenges of international disorder, protectionism and the climate crisis. But to do that, the UK must first repair its relationship with the EU. Without this underlying relationship with its nearest and closest ally, the UK risks being set a drift in a stormy global environment.

To mark Best for Britain's campaign relaunch in Spring 2021, we have commissioned a cutting-edge new analytical tool: The Internationalism Index. This is a brand new way of understanding opinion polling through segmenting the population by attitude, rather than demography or geography. The Index will allow a more nuanced understanding of how people in the UK view international co-operation.
