I'm a White British Catholic woman from Guildford, in my fifties. My top issue is immigration. In 2024 I voted Reform UK. Today I don't know who I'd vote for.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Guildford. About them, in their words: I'm still paying the mortgage on my place. I expect to be a good deal worse off a year from now. I work full-time and do office and admin work in the private sector. I've nobody who could help me find somewhere to live if I had to move home. Class isn't something I think about much, though if pushed I'd go with working class. News habits: I follow politics a bit, on and off. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Every one of the party leaders puts me off. Robots and AI taking over work would be very bad for me. Immigration is bad for Britain's economy, no question. There's clearly one law for the rich and another for the poor. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 2 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 8.5 out of 10, more authoritarian than the middle half of voters.

I'm an Asian Catholic man from Feltham and Heston, in my twenties. My top issue is the economy. In 2024 I voted Labour. Today I still would.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Feltham and Heston. About them, in their words: I live in council housing. I've borrowed money this year just to cover essentials. I work full-time and have a professional or technical job in the private sector. I finished school with A-levels. My family could lend me £5,000 to £10,000 towards a house if I needed it. If you asked, I'd say I'm working class. News habits: I keep half an eye on politics. The paper I read most is the Daily Mail. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: My favourite leader is Keir Starmer. My least favourite is Ed Davey. Management will try to get the better of employees if it gets the chance. I'd pay a bit more tax for better health and social services. Politicians don't care what people like me think. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 3 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 6 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on North West Cambridgeshire. About them, in their words: I'm still paying the mortgage on my place. I've got £30,000 to £40,000 put by. I work part-time and have a management job in the private sector at a small firm. I had a poster up for the 2024 election. I'd call myself working class. News habits: I mostly follow politics on TV and online, only a few minutes each day. I get some of my politics from X. I get into politics with people several days a week. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: I couldn't tell you what I think of any of the party leaders. I'd trust the common sense of ordinary people over the experts any day. I'm against banning cigarette sales by year of birth. NHS spending has been cut too much.

I'm a White British Anglican woman from Christchurch, in my seventies. My top issue is the state of our politics. In 2024 I didn't vote. Today I'd vote Lib Dem.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Christchurch. About them, in their words: I own my home outright. Financially, I'm no better or worse off than I was a year ago. These days, I'm retired, but when I was working I had a professional or technical job in the public sector. I have a health condition that limits me a little day to day. I think of myself as working class. News habits: The politics I take in is mostly in the papers and by talking to people, a few minutes a day. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Out of all the leaders, Keir Starmer is the one I like best, and Nigel Farage the one I like least. I don't think a strong leader who ignored parliament and elections would be a good way to run the country. I'd be disappointed if Scotland left the UK. I don't think things were better in the past. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 2 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 6.9 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

I'm a White British non-religious woman from Kingswinford and South Staffordshire, in my fifties. My top issue is immigration. In 2024 I voted Reform UK. Today I'd vote Reform UK (if pushed).

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Kingswinford and South Staffordshire. About them, in their words: I own my home outright. An unexpected £300 bill would be beyond me. I work part-time and have a routine technical job in the private sector. I'd place myself close to the bottom of the social scale. I don't think of myself as belonging to a class, but if I had to choose I'd say working class. News habits: I don't keep up with political news in any way. Social media isn't something I use. I don't talk politics with people. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Nigel Farage is my favourite of the party leaders; Keir Starmer is my least favourite. Young people have far too little respect for traditional British values. I don't feel the least bit European. Britain's cultural life is badly undermined by immigration. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 0 out of 10, further left than the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 10 out of 10, more authoritarian than the middle half of voters.

I'm a Mixed-heritage man from Leicester South, in my thirties. My top issue is the state of our politics. In 2024 I didn't vote. Today I'd vote for a smaller party.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Leicester South. About them, in their words: The place I live in is a private rental. I expect to be a lot better off this time next year. I work part-time. I'm single and live on my own. There's a sick or elderly relative living with me that I care for. Class-wise, I'd put myself down as middle class. News habits: I follow politics closely. My paper is the Independent. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: I don't think much of any of the leaders - Zack Polanski is the best of a bad lot, Keir Starmer the worst. The NHS is getting a lot worse. The cost of living is getting a lot higher. It makes no difference which party is in power. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 0 out of 10, further left than the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 7 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

I have a sales or customer service job, working full-time somewhere with more than 500 people on the books. Tesco is where I do most of my food shopping. Class isn't something I think about much, though if pushed I'd go with working class. News habits: I don't keep up with political news in any way. I go on Facebook and Instagram. I get into politics with people several days a week. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: If I had to rank the party leaders, John Swinney would be first and Nigel Farage last. I'm not on either side of the independence debate. Living costs are still rising sharply. I'm gutted that Trump is back in the White House. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 2.5 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 7.5 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Great Yarmouth. About them, in their words: I live with family or friends and pay no rent. Our household income, last time I gave it, was £70,000 to £100,000 a year, and I've got £30,000 to £40,000 put by. I have a professional or technical job in the public sector, working full-time somewhere with more than 500 people on the books. Class-wise, I'd put myself down as working class. News habits: I take a passing interest in politics. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: I'm not keen on any of the leaders, though Zack Polanski is the nearest to it. Nigel Farage is my least favourite. The cost of living is still creeping up. Our schools are slipping a bit, I'd say. Reading lists are fine as they are without adding more female and non-white authors. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 2 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 6.2 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Tiverton and Minehead. About them, in their words: I'm paying off a mortgage, and my home is worth somewhere around £300,000 to £400,000. I reckon my finances will get a lot worse over the next twelve months. I'm working part-time and have a shop floor job in the private sector. I don't think of myself as belonging to a class, but if I had to choose I'd say working class. News habits: I take very little notice of politics. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: I can't stand any of the party leaders. The level of crime is rising a lot. I wouldn't say I'm proud to be British. The cost of living is getting a lot higher.

Voter card. A map of Wales with a dot on Mid and South Pembrokeshire. About them, in their words: My home is bought and paid for, no mortgage. My savings come to £100,000 to £150,000. I work for myself. There's likely to be an inheritance for me down the line. Day to day, my religion doesn't make any real difference to my life. I'd call myself middle class. News habits: The politics I take in is mostly on TV and in the papers, less than half an hour a day. I spend time on Facebook and TikTok. Politics isn't something I talk about with people. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Top of the leaders for me is Kemi Badenoch, bottom is Eluned Morgan. It makes a huge difference which party is in power. Voting is a duty for every citizen. I'm British above all, and being Welsh comes a long way behind.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Fylde. About them, in their words: I'm living with family or friends, rent-free. Money is much the same as it was a year ago. I work part-time and do office and admin work in the private sector. My other half has a full-time job and has a routine technical job. I'm working class, I'd say. News habits: I take very little notice of politics. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: None of the leaders really does it for me - Keir Starmer comes closest, and Nigel Farage is last. On the whole, my local area gets more or less its fair share of government spending. The economy has got a little worse in the last twelve months. Transgender women shouldn't compete in women's sport.

News habits: For politics, I mostly rely on what I get on TV and on the radio, a few minutes a day. I go on Facebook and Instagram. Politics comes up with people once or twice a week. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: My favourite leader is Nigel Farage. My least favourite is Keir Starmer. On balance, immigration takes something away from British culture. Sixteen is far too young to vote. I'd sooner put my trust in ordinary people than in the opinions of experts. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 4 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 7.5 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

Before I retired, I did office and admin work in the public sector. My secondary school was a private one. I left school at 16. If you asked, I'd say I'm working class. News habits: I take a passing interest in politics. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Ed Davey is my favourite of the party leaders; Nigel Farage is my least favourite. The gap between rich and poor is about right. I'm for Britain holding on to its nuclear weapons. I back a publicly owned renewable energy company.

I've got an account on Facebook, X and Instagram. Politics comes up with people once or twice a week. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: I've no time at all for any of the party leaders. Immigration is getting a lot higher.

I get into politics with people several days a week. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: None of the leaders is bad in my book - I'd rank Zack Polanski highest and Nigel Farage lowest. The money families on welfare get is about right. On balance, I'd keep zero-hours contracts legal. Inheritance tax should be abolished altogether.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on North East Hertfordshire. About them, in their words: I'm still paying the mortgage on my place. To cover a surprise £300 expense I'd need to stick it on a credit card and pay it off over time. I work full-time. My family could find me less than £5,000 towards a house if it came to it. I'd call myself working class. News habits: I keep a close eye on politics. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: My favourite leader is Keir Starmer. My least favourite is Nigel Farage. London gets a little more than its fair share of government spending. I'd like to see more redistribution from the well-off to people who have less. Living costs are still rising a bit.

I'm a White British Catholic man from St Helens South and Whiston, in my forties. My top issue is immigration. In 2024 I didn't vote. Today I'd vote Reform UK.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on St Helens South and Whiston. About them, in their words: I'm paying off a mortgage. I've nothing put by in savings. I'm the sort who keeps in the background, as I see it. I think of myself as working class. News habits: I don't keep up with political news in any way. I spend time watching YouTube. I don't talk politics with people. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: My favourite leader is Nigel Farage. My least favourite is Zack Polanski. Cutting the deficit matters, but it isn't everything. I think the public sector alone should provide gas, electricity and water. Immigration is going up a lot. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 0 out of 10, further left than the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 8.5 out of 10, more authoritarian than the middle half of voters.

I'm a White British non-religious man from Tiverton and Minehead, aged 23. My top issue is the NHS. In 2024 I voted Lib Dem. Today I'd vote Labour.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Tiverton and Minehead. About them, in their words: I live with family and pay them a bit of rent. I'm not worried about my family's finances. I have a professional or technical job in the private sector, working full-time. I'd describe myself as an introvert. If you asked, I'd say I'm working class. News habits: The politics I take in is mostly on TV and online, somewhere between half an hour and an hour a day. I get some of my politics from X and TikTok, mostly from commentators and journalists. I've also got an account on Instagram, and I watch YouTube as well. Politics comes up with people once or twice a week. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Out of all the leaders, Zack Polanski is the one I like best, and Nigel Farage the one I like least. The cuts to the NHS have gone way too far. If there were another EU referendum, I'd vote to rejoin. I'm reasonably satisfied with the way democracy works in the UK. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 3.5 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 4 out of 10, more liberal than the middle half of voters.

I'm a White English Buddhist man from Liverpool Riverside, aged 76. My top issue is inequality. In 2024 I voted Labour. Today I still would.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Liverpool Riverside. About them, in their words: My home is bought and paid for, no mortgage. To cover a surprise £300 expense I'd need to pay for it on a credit card. I'm retired - in my working days I had a professional or technical job in the public sector. I'd call myself working class. News habits: I mostly follow politics on TV, for hours every day. The daily paper I read most often is the Guardian. I've got an account on Facebook. Politics comes up in conversation nearly every day. His views, from his survey answers, in four speech bubbles: None of the leaders does much for me. Zack Polanski comes closest; Kemi Badenoch comes last. NHS spending has been cut far too much. Ordinary working people don't get anything like their fair share of the nation's wealth. Parties are more interested in fighting each other than in the public interest. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 0 out of 10, further left than the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 2 out of 10, more liberal than the middle half of voters.

I'm a White British non-religious woman from Bristol North East, aged 44. My top issue is big business and the rich. In 2024 I voted Labour. Today I still would.

Voter card. A map of England with a dot on Bristol North East. About them, in their words: I rent from a private landlord, and I don't expect to be able to buy a home in the next ten years. I've had to borrow money for essentials this year. I'm self-employed in a professional or technical line of work, supervising other people. If you asked, I'd say I'm working class. News habits: I keep up with politics mainly on TV and in the papers, only a few minutes each day. I'm on Instagram and I watch YouTube too. I get into politics with people a day or two a week. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: None of the leaders does much for me. Ed Davey comes closest; Nigel Farage comes last. I'd say the amount we do to protect the environment is about right. Big business takes advantage of ordinary people at every turn. I don't think censorship of films and magazines does anything for moral standards. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 0.5 out of 10, further left than the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 5.6 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.
