Here's a piece of research that confirms the realignment among voters is now pretty much complete in the UK. As things stand they look pretty good for the Tories, as long as they can keep up the strategy of being left of centre on economics and slightly towards the nationalist end of the new aligning division on identity and nationalism versus globalism.
As a piece on Unherd argues, this isn't about mix and matching or focus grouping your policies (as the kind of politicians whose training is all about media training do), it's about having a coherent ideology and policy set that reflects that political centre of gravity - moderate national collectivism you could call it. The key finding is that the voters who up to now have combined cultural conservatism and nationalism with free markets are now abandoning the free market bit - just as I predicted a few years ago.
For the Conservatives in the next couple of years this will mean clearly and explicitly shifting to the left on economics, moving to a much more dirigiste economic policy and away from free markets. If they don't do that then this apparently solid coalition they have now put together will be vulnerable but only if the Labour Party also moves towards that centre of gravity (which in their case would mean moving 'right' on cultural and identity issues.
