Over half of 2024 Labour voters now say they regret it

More than one in two people who voted Labour in 2024 now say they regret their vote so much that they will vote for another party at the next election.

One of Labour's biggest problems is who they're now voting for - nearly half to the Greens but also a significant amount to Reform. It's going to be probably impossible to win them both back and if they go after just one of them, it's unlikely to be enough to win another election, assuming they're successful

The latest Nowcast has Labour coming fifth if a general election was held tomorrow - behind the Lib Dems, Greens, Tories and Reform

This was published by the Economist last week. If you go onto their web site it’s interactive.

I’m a bit disappointed by Labour but I don’t regret my vote for a second. Who did the survey?

Voted Labour. No regrets. Will vote Labour again!

Don’t beat yourselves up though, Labour won with a low turnout, they got 33% of the vote in a
low turnout election. Their win is also attributed to the collapse of the conservative vote and conservative voters voting Reform.

Yes they won with a large parliamentary majority but the low turnout and the low % vote means their win wasn’t necessarily the public vote and that reflects in what we are seeing today.

It was on X. The Leftie Stats account

But without any information about when this was done, who the survey group was and the methodology, it's meaningless. It could be ten shoppers in the Tesco in Haggerston at midnight on 7 January 2025.

I'm disappointed with Labour, but at the same time, I didn't have unrealistic expectations going in, so I don't have regrets. They've been handed a nearly unmanageable situation and I don't see what they particularly could have done or be doing better. As things stand, I'll vote for them again unless I need to vote tactically to keep Reform out.

Well, I do, I’ve been a Labour member/voter since 1979. No more.

Who are you going to vote for now, if anyone?

Can you give the attribution and date for this, please? It's meaningless without them.

Labour’s problem is that a large number of people who voted for them in 2024 did so because they were voting against the Tories or Reform.

Reform and the Green Party will say whatever makes them popular and have no substance.

The challenge is most of the main parties aren’t much better at present.
