One in five Britons would consider voting for a new left-wing party, rising to one in three young people and Labour voters.

One in five (20%) British adults would consider voting for a new left-wing party founded by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana. The party's appeal is strongest among young people, with one-third (33%) of 16-34s considering it, alongside a third of 2024 Labour voters (33%) and 43% of 2024 Green Party voters.

Policy appeal: Keeping the NHS fully public is the most popular proposal of the new party's assumed policy platform, with 51% of the public supporting it. This is followed by taxing the rich to redistribute wealth (34%) and introducing rent controls (29%). Among those who would consider voting for the new party, these policies are even more popular, with 64% backing a fully public NHS and 56% supporting higher taxes on the wealthy.
