Labour’s Voter Base Wants Costly ‘Green’ Policies Scrapped
Labour’s target voters overwhelmingly support scrapping expensive ‘green’ policies such as boiler bans, a survey reveals
Pollsters Stonehaven found less than a third of those who left the party under Jeremy Corbyn but switched back at the election support cracking down on domestic flights.
And only 26 percent support a ban on gas boilers in new-build homes by 2025.
The poll will make sobering reading for Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, architect of Labour’s ‘green’ policy.
However, 59 percent of those polled back accelerating new nuclear power.
It comes as the Treasury has been accused of “dragging its feet” over an investment decision on the Sizewell C nuclear plant in Suffolk.
Gary Smith, General Secretary of the GMB Union, said:
“Nuclear power is vital if we are to cut emissions and keep the lights on – there can be no net zero without new nuclear.
Years of dither and delay have seen the UK slip from a world leader in nuclear to having all but one reactor offline in the coming years.”
Luke Betham, Head of Data Science at Stonehaven, commenting on the study, said:
“There’s a clear message to Keir Starmer from these voters.
Bin talk of bans on boilers and back new nuclear.”
