Are they not even allowing people to choose Reform?

Their continued prompting of UKIP is very weird.

Are they not even allowing people to choose Reform? Sorry, that's my error - I put Brexit instead of Reform. The crosstabs do say Reform UK. I have noticed there are a few pollsters which don't allow Reform (or UKIP) as an option, which is very bizarre - especially when other pollsters have consistently put them between 2% and 5%. I think Focaldata and Savanta ComRes don't have a Reform option (in their crosstabs at least), could be wrong on those.

They've recently contested the Old Bexley & Sidcup and North Shropshire by-elections, getting 6.6% and 3.7% respectively; a vast improvement on the 1.2% and 1.1% they got in Hartlepool and Chesham & Amersham respectively, but still not likely to cause any real headaches for anyone.

Ah I wasnt sure if they were officially simply renamed, or whether they had just closed down and reformed *ahem* as a new party in another guise (a la MK Dons!)

A significant part of the electoral coalition that Boris created was former UKIP/Brexit party voters, many of whom were not naturally Conservative voters prior to that. It doesn't seem so implausible that a proportion of those are reverting now that Boris has been kicked out. I dare say that if Rishi Sunak wins the leadership those numbers will increase, because of the role he played in knifing Boris. right has discussed this quite a lot previously in terms of 2019 Conservative voters who will feel cheated if Boris was removed. He may have overstated his case, but that is not to say there was no case.

He may have overstated his case, but that is not to say there was no case. It's 3 for UKIP and 3 for Brexit\Reform. I don't think these will be the longer term repositories of the new Tory voters, Labour and won't vote will take up the slack. But it's not so much the relatively small but vocal group of people who are actively annoyed that Boris got knifed (they exist, but I suspect that a lot of them will reluctantly stay Tory) it's the ones who are quite sensible on policy issues that don't involve spending and so are turned off by the various left wing parties but generally see the Tory party as not for the likes of them. Boris was a bridge and Truss and Sunak probably can't be. Starmer is talking to them, and will talk to them more as the election approaches and his hold on the party tightens.

I'm seeing this construction more and more. How on earth do people get lost looking for the '/' key? It's there right next to all the other punctuation.

Most people don't seem to take in that there is no apostrophe in a plural even though they were taught it at school. They don't teach about slash / backslash except maybe in computer science so it's little wonder people use them interchangeably.

Its fairly obvious this pollster still prompts for UKIP, and IMO equally obvious that they shouldn't.
