From protest to power? Inside Reform UK's changing support base
Alex Newton, Deputy Director (Strategy and Development) at More in Common UK, joins us for this special WMCRU session.
More in Common and UK in a Changing Europe release From Protest to Power? Based on polling of three thousand Reform supporters (and a further two thousand people who would consider voting for Reform) - and focus groups across the country - it is the largest in-depth study of Reform’s support base. It looks at who Reform supporters are, the forces drawing people to Reform UK, as well as the potential cracks emerging in its voter base, and the barriers that may stand in Nigel Farage's way as he attempts to enter Downing Street.
Alex Newton is Deputy Director (Strategy and Development) at More in Common UK. He leads More in Common's consultancy work with civil society, public and private sector organisations. Previously he has held senior management positions in various charities and campaigning organisations, across policy and comms roles, and worked as an mediator in industrial disputes.

About WMCRU
Set up during COVID, our regular West Midlands Culture Response Unit (WMCRU) meetings were a vital lifeline for the sector in connecting, sharing and getting practical information and advice. WMCRU has continued to be a useful space for organisations and individuals that Culture Central continues to support as a collective and collaborative space for all those that are interested in the cultural ecology of the region. In 2024-25, WMCRU meetings will explore key strategic challenges and opportunities that affect the sector and the region.
