Political analysts have said that the upcoming snap general
election my just be drawn along party line, but according to the voting pattern
of the Brexit referendum where votes were made across party lines. Accordingly,
it has been predicted that the Conservative Party could be having an
overwhelming victory in the election.
A recently conducted opinion poll by YouGov reveals that 64%
of the voting public see Brexit as one of the major challenges being faced by
the UK, as it is fast becoming a unifying factor.
Data from the Financial Times have as a result separated the
country’s voting population into three major groups as follows: the Hard
Leavers, who want out the EU represent 45 per cent; the Hard Remainers, who
want to stop Brexit represent 22 per cent, and the newest group the Re-Leavers
— those who voted to Remain last summer but think the Government now has a duty
to leave – represent up to 23 per cent voters.
Therefore, following the release of the above data, the
Tories and Ukip, who have vowed to ensure Brexit is fully implemented, are now looking
for voters from a pool of about 68 percent of voters, while Labour, the Liberal
Democrats and Green are fighting for just 22 per cent of the electorate.
Accordingly, 7 0ut 10 Leavers determined to give their support
to the PM and her party, while 45% of Re-Leavers have also decided to give their
vote to the Tories.
This is because some voters have claimed that the position
of the Labour Party regarding Brexit is not sceptical.
On the other hand, the Liberal Democrats anti-Brexit positon
has also angered so many voters to turn their backs against the party, as they
believe the country should carry out the implementation of its divorce
arrangement from the EU, as its second referendum idea has been unpopular.
The report comes as Theresa May has urged voters to trust
her as she vowed she will “try to say it as it is”.
Mrs May said: "Certainly that's my political philosophy”
"What it says on the tin is what they get."
While Nigel Farage has called for the Hard-Leaver voters to
stay with Ukip as he warned that the Prime Minister may soften her positions.
He said: "The cat is out of the bag. She wants a big
majority so she can soften the position in Brussels and we basically finish up
being half in, half out.”*
