Middle Britons
This is the closest of all six voter types to being the ‘typical’ British voter.
Soft-Left Liberals
The Soft-Left Liberals are liberal on social issues though they are more centrist or ‘soft-left’ on economics.
New research from NatCen defines six UK voter types ahead of General Election
The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) has today named six categories of UK voters, defined by their answers to twelve key questions.
Urban Progressives
This voter group are typically university educated professionals, who lean strongly to the left on economic issues.
Left-Behind Patriots
The Left-Behind Patriots are markedly left-wing on economic issues but are decidedly conservative and nationalist in their social outlook.
Apolitical Centrists
These are by far the least politically engaged of all voter groups. They don’t follow the news closely and don’t support any particular party.
