Britain's New Populist Right

from The Opinion Brief

This week we welcome The Opinion Brief’s first guest, discuss the rise of Britain's populist right, and ask why the “Badenoch Bounce” isn't lifting the Tories’ vote share. In this episode: The Badenoch Bounce: How has Kemi Badenoch achieved her steady approval rating rise, and why has the Conservative party’s support stayed flat?

You can check out their build-a-voter tool here. Dissenting Disruptors: Just who are Britain’s new populist right?
