Following his landslide victory, there was much talk of Keir Starmer’s narrow mandate, and a suggestion that Labour’s new electoral coalition is precarious.  Ahead of the next general election, party leaders need to understand Labour’s 2024 voters, how they can ensure they return in four years’ time – and what could push them away.

Savanta’s research has segmented the Labour party’s electoral ‘universe’ into four main groups: loyalists, joiners, defectors, and considerers. Using this analysis and new polling, Savanta’s Political Research Director alongside a panel of experts will be able to give a real insight into how Labour could secure a historic second term at the next election.
