Every month YouGov ask the question: "Do the main parties represent your values?" In November 2019 40% said that "At least one of the political parties represents my priorities and values well." By August 2023 it had fallen to 27% with a record 57% saying "none of the main political parties really represent my priorities and values." It seems that our main political parties are not representing the thoughts and opinions of the electorate. One of the reasons for this is people's dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party, who have been in power since 2010. However, there is another more important reason for this unhappiness with our political parties - the election of Keir Starmer as leader of the Labour Party.
