Understanding the UK’s General Election and what happens next
By Peter McLeod
As the final votes were being counted in the UK’s General Election, GQR went to field with the Trades Union Congress’s landmark post-election study. The national survey of 3,102 voters took a measure of how the country voted, why, and what should happen next.
Today, in cooperation with the TUC, we publish the poll’s data as a contribution to ongoing debate about Britain’s future. It reveals important underlying attitudes that shaped the vote as well as voters’ assessments of the main parties’ performance and their policy preferences across key areas in public spending, workers’ rights and the Brexit negotiations.
As well as making the data available to download in table form, we have built an interactive portal where you can explore the results. Select the poll questions and population subgroups you’re interested in and chart them against other groups to see where crucial differences emerged.
The work has been extensively covered in the Huffington Post:
The project was led by Stan Greenberg and Peter McLeod, and advised by James Morris of Edelman.
