A major new More in Common poll suggests that Britain's political landscape is changing — and that Prime Minister Andy Burnham's Labour government is rebuilding public confidence.

According to figures reported by The Independent, 42% of Britons now believe Labour will win the next general election, compared with just 23% last summer.

That represents a striking 19-percentage-point increase.

Meanwhile, the proportion expecting Labour to lose has fallen from 58% to 33%.

The survey questioned 3,286 adults between 23 and 26 October.

A TURNAROUND THAT DESERVES ATTENTION:

The figures suggest that the political pessimism surrounding Labour a year ago is giving way to renewed expectations of electoral success.

Among those who voted Labour in 2024, an impressive 72% now expect the party to win.

But the change extends beyond Labour supporters.

54% of Liberal Democrat voters and 39% of Conservative voters also expect a Labour victory.

Even among Reform UK supporters, the proportion expecting Labour to win has risen from 11% to 26%.

These figures demonstrate that the change in perceptions is not confined to Labour's traditional political base.

THE BURNHAM EFFECT OVERPOWERING RING WING DIVISION AND RACISM:

More in Common's Louis O'Geran attributed the shift in public expectations to Andy Burnham's leadership.

1/. The poll also suggests that Burnham's willingness to consider closer relations with Europe is being received positively.

2/. Overall, 45% believe his proposal to explore rejoining the EU reflects well on him, compared with 27% who disagree.

3/. Among Labour's 2024 voters, positive sentiment rises to 71%.

These findings suggest that political debate about Britain's future relationship with Europe remains very much alive.

GB2GB: LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE - NOT MULTIBILLIONAIRE OWNED 'VIEWS-PAPERS'

GB2GB believes that every political party deserves a fair opportunity to present its policies, achievements and proposals to the British public.

The disproportionate influence of right-wing media ownership makes that principle particularly important.

Political parties should succeed or fail because of public support — not because wealthy foreign media owners determine which political stories receive the most support and prominence.

We do, however, believe that significant developments in public opinion deserve proper recognition.

The latest More in Common findings are positive news for Labour and Andy Burnham.

They deserve to be reported clearly, prominently and without being lost beneath dominant right wing press and BBC political news platforms.

Britain's voters must remain the ultimate judges of Britain's political future.
