In marginal seats with high levels of rurality a swing of almost 10% towards Labour has been quick to emerge as the current Governments changes in planning law appear to be bypassing local councils and skipping the part played by planners to maintain local democracy. Its felt by voters that the Tories are clearly benefiting the needs of developers and profits over the needs and wishes of local people. The huge break from the Tory designed policy of ‘Localism’ is seen by traditional Conservative voters as a stab in the back.
With a noticeable change of voter attitude as Brexit slips into oblivion, politics is seen by pollsters as drifting back into left, right and centre ground. On the matter of culture Sir Keir Starmer is streets ahead of both the Tories and the SNP with their popularity being challenged by former LibDems in the North of Scotland and Labour across the Central belt. Any move by the SNP towards a second referendum on delivering an unaffordable Scottish Exit Plan from the UK will be challenging indeed as the Tories are once again raising the cost parallels between regional spend in the North, particularly in the red wall seats they hold and that as supplied to Scotland through the Barnett formula.
Another prime move away from the Boris Johnson style of Government by voters is the lack of trust in the power given to unelected political advisors and the fact that Boris Johnson no longer wishes to speak with the electorate and is enlisting the help of a media face to deliver his message for him, its seen by voters as a change too far in British politics.
