Britain’s electorate today is more liberal on cultural issues and more left on economic issues than it was when we last went to the polls in December 2019.
Very interesting data on consistently left shifting trend in the UK attitudes, both economically and socially. That said, while the economy related statements seem to capture the gist well, the "socially liberal/authoritarian" items appear to completely miss two issues on which the majority of the current culture war is fought: immigration/cultural integration and trans(gender) controversies. While one can argue that the latter is of interest largely to the permanently-online disaffected-activist youth and metropolitan chattering classes / academia, the former is more of a universally recognised issue.
