What do Soft-Left Liberals think?

The Soft-Left Liberals are liberal on social issues but more centrist or ‘soft-left’ on economic issues.

Soft-Left Liberals are especially keen on civil rights, are supportive of immigration, and accept as British those who come to Britain and feel British. They mostly voted to remain in the EU, and think Brexit has worked out badly.

While they would like more public spending, they are only mildly supportive of higher taxes on high earners or on redistribution to the less well-off.

Who do Soft-Left Liberals vote for?

Soft-Left Liberals are relatively politically engaged, but they aren’t necessarily committed to any one party. They tend to divide their loyalties between Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.

Who are Soft-Left Liberals and where do they live?

Compared to the general public, Soft-Left Liberals are more likely to be university educated and have relatively well-established professional or managerial careers. They tend to be reasonably financially comfortable, although that isn’t true for all of them. They are relatively common in big cities, but can also be found in the countryside.

How do Soft-Left Liberals compare to the other groups?

Like the Middle Britons, the Soft-Left Liberals are slightly left leaning. And they’re socially liberal, just like the Urban Progressives, although they aren’t nearly as left wing. 

Although both the Soft-Left Liberals and the Well-off Traditionalists tend to be living relatively comfortable lives, they agree about almost nothing, from public spending, to immigration, to law and order.
