A new Ipsos in the UK poll reveals that the left-wing political party recently founded by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and MP Zarah Sultana could capture a significant segment of the British electorate, particularly among younger voters and those who supported the Labour and Green parties in the 2024 General Election.

Overall, 20% of British adults say they would be ‘very’ or ‘fairly likely’ to consider voting for a new left-wing party. This figure, however, masks a sharp generational divide. A third (33%) of those aged 16-34 would consider voting for the new party, a figure that drops to 22% among 35-54s and just 9% among those aged 55 and over.

The potential for this new party to disrupt the existing political landscape is most evident in its appeal to voters of other left-leaning parties. One-third (33%) of those who voted Labour in 2024 and 43% of 2024 Green party voters would consider lending their vote to a Corbyn-Sultana-led party.
[…]
An alliance between the [Corbyn/Sultana Party and the Greens] would be a potent force, with 31% of all Britons saying they would consider voting for a united ticket. This rises to a majority (52%) among 16-34s and includes nearly half (46%) of 2024 Labour voters.

    Everyone in Britain should ABSOLUTELY vote for this new reform party. It’s so obvious something has to change over there now Labour are leaning further and further right of center.

      I’m going to assume you’re not British, so just to let you know that Reform are a far-right party. The new left wing party is currently using the interim name ‘Your Party’, but will likely be named something else when they actually register as a party.

        Oh, never heard of them. They sound shitty. I’ve changed it to leftist reformist (for clarity).
