Tory voters have more in common with Labour on the economy than with Tory MPs & party members: great new research from @philipjcowley https://ukandeu.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Mind-the-values-gap.pdf
Voters agree with Labour that the economy is unfair, but are divided about taking from the rich to give to the poor
Tory MPs are closer to Labour voters in social values than to their own supporters
But Tory party members are closer to the average voter on social values than Lab members or Lab MPs are
Voters who switched Lab to Con in 2019 are not natural Tories on econ issues, but they aren’t natural Lab voters on social values either
