When do Britons next want a General Election to be held?

Only one in five Britons (18%) want a General Election by the end of this year - this demand is most strongly felt by Progressive Activists and Disengaged Battlers. But across all seven segments, majorities of the public want a General election around or before May next year - driven by their dissatisfaction with the current state of politics and their desire for change. As expected, the Tory base Backbone Conservatives are most relaxed about waiting for a General election, but only 17% of them would chose to wait until January 2025.

All of this can be explained by the fact that three in four Britons - and majorities across all seven segments - now want a change in government.

Looking at other demographic breakdowns, it is millennials and 2019 Labour voters who most want an immediate election, and older people and 2019 Conservative voters who most support a delayed General Election.
