  • This is the majority or plurality (relative majority) view in 150 of 631 (24%) constituencies in Great Britain.
  • This is the majority or relative majority view in 114 of 411 (28%) Labour held constituencies and 23 of 218 (11%) of seats Labour won in the 2024 election.
  • However, Labour voters within these constituencies tend to be more inclined to this view, with 52% of the Labour government's 2024 vote subscribing to this opinion.

Methodology

A 20,000 person survey was conducted by FocalData in the week of the 1st July 2024. MRP (Multilevel Regression with Post-stratification) was used to analyse demographic trends and therefore establish an indicative result for each Parliamentary constituency. This is fundamentally the same technique that is regularly used to derive seat-level estimates of voting intention.
