Reform Voters and Net Zero

With Reform now overtaking the Conservatives, it is increasingly important to understand what is driving them and their supporters. “Even without representation at Westminster, Reform could shape the conversation on net zero if the mainstream parties pivot in response to Reform’s rhetoric, deepening the risk of climate change being used as a ‘wedge issue’… In contrast to supporters of all other parties, Reform voters express clear opposition to net zero policies. 70% say they oppose the target of net zero emissions by 2050, with 52% strongly opposing it. And 72% believe that people who campaign on climate change are ‘out of touch with most of the country’.”
