I have a question relating to opinion polls (or public opinion on politics in general actually). Asking here because nobody else i've spoken to can understand this either.
Looking at the opinion polls (asking who would you vote for in a general election held tomorrow), the two polls conducted after Boris' resignation announcement both seem to indicate a 2-4% increase in support for both Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
Does this really mean that around 4% of adults in the UK are thinking something along the lines of 'Now Boris has resigned i'm definitely going to vote for one of the other parties'? This strikes me as odd, if anything I would have predicted the opposite reaction, something like 'I might vote tory now they've finally got rid of that clown'.
Does anyone have any other insights on this? All comments are welcome, even from people who really do still like Boris.
