The Independent|May 30, 2024
If Labour wins most votes on 4 July, nearly half of its winning margin will come from people who agree with the Tories but are backing Sir Keir Starmer because they have "given up" on Rishi Sunak. That is the finding of a “Red Votes, Blue Values” survey that appears to reveal a new election trend.
