Yes - lots of other questions in the poll! The data tables are live now on the Mile End Institute webpage, linked below:

That's a good point! I can't speak to the former, but on the latter... UK wide polling seems to suggest that this figure is 63% for Labour nationally. So, they seem to be retaining at a slightly higher level in London than elsewhere (as we might expect).

This means that Labour have a vote retention rate of just 74% in London, compared to the Conservative Party's 81%, the Liberal Democrat's and Green Party's 88% and Reform UK's 95%

Thanks Javier, couldn't have done it without the support and generosity of yourself and many other fabulous SPIR and MEI colleagues!

We define HSS students as those taking courses in humanities, social sciences, psychology and education. This follows the British Election Study's main subject area classification rules. All other students are then STEM or other non-HSS students.

Thanks Rob!

Ultimately, we find evidence to suggest that the socialisation experiences individuals are exposed to while studying have important shaping effects on their attitudes. The effect of university study on political attitudes varies according to what, how and where individuals have studied.

…and for those who live in ‘university towns’ and ‘cosmopolitan London’ while studying, both places which are likely to have more left-leaning economic attitudinal profiles than average.
