Housing as an electoral issue

The public has more confidence in Reform UK to deliver change than any other party. 34% of people believe they have a good long-term economic plan, and 38% think they have a good plan for changing Britain generally, placing them ahead of both Labour and the Conservatives on these measures. However, a majority of Britons are not confident in any party.

Three in ten (31%) say their local area is housing more than its fair share of asylum seekers, doubling to 61% of Reform UK voters. The public is divided on the acceptability of protesting outside hotels housing asylum seekers (36% acceptable vs. 39% unacceptable).
