flag Poor health and austerity fueled support for Reform UK in deprived UK areas, a 2024 study found.

flag A 2024 study by Imperial College London found that areas with poorer health outcomes, including higher rates of obesity, COPD, diabetes, and depression, were more likely to vote for Reform UK, with the party winning five seats in the UK’s most deprived regions. flag The research linked long-term health inequalities, worsened by austerity and the pandemic, to political dissatisfaction, particularly in aging, coastal communities. flag Despite government claims of NHS improvements, including more appointments and reduced waiting lists, the study highlights persistent disparities in healthcare access and health outcomes as key factors driving support for right-wing populist parties.
