Presenters:
In April, More in Common will publish their latest research — a deep dive into Dissenting Disruptors. Join us online to hear their findings.
Dissenting Disruptors make up around 20 per cent of the UK population and form the core of the populist right. Frustrated at being repeatedly disparaged by elites, they want to challenge establishment norms and institutions. Many reject multiculturalism, believe free speech in Britain is under threat and feel that ordinary people know the solutions better than experts or politicians. Underpinning this is a sense of hardship and disconnection: they tend to earn less than other Britons, report lower life satisfaction and feel disconnected from society around them.
The report will explore who Dissenting Disruptors are, what has shaped their worldviews and how their beliefs vary on key issues such as migration. It will also examine the potential to rebuild trust with some, if not all, Dissenting Disruptors and what it would take to restore their faith in Britain today.
This research is vital not only for those thinking about how to engage with the populist right, but also for anyone wishing to understand the anti-system, anti-establishment mood in parts of Britain today.
