A new study has revealed that over half of former Labour voters who intend to vote for a centre or left-wing party in the next general election cited Israel's genocide in Gaza as a factor in their decision. The findings indicate the enormous significance the genocide and the UK's cooperation with Israel throughout it continue to have for British politics. Contrary to some popular misconceptions, the study further explodes the view that outrage over the genocide is a niche, sectarian or purely Muslim concern. The poll, carried out by Opinium, found that 40.7 percent of people who voted Labour in the 2024 general election switched support to the left-wing Green Party in last month's local elections. Another 29.6 percent went to the centrist Liberal Democrats, while 11.1 percent supported Reform UK and 9.3 percent the Conservatives. Of former voters who transferred their support to centre and left-wing parties, 53 percent said the government's support for Israel influenced them to switch their vote. The study said 21 percent said it influenced them a great deal and 31 percent said it influenced them somewhat.

There's no happy ending with me.
