RESEARCH compiled by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) shows people struggling on low incomes are most concerned with worries about money and debt, their health and housing.

It shows that no political party has majority support of those on low incomes, with a third supporting Labour and 23 per cent supporting the Conservatives. A quarter of low income voters do not support any political party.

The York-based JRF says the main political parties need to address their concerns about living standards and financial security, and not just deliver Brexit.

Campbell Robb, chief executive of the foundation, said: “British politics is overwhelmed by Brexit, but this analysis shows how day-to-day worries about debt, housing and jobs dominate people’s lives.

“Low income voters are clear they want to action on living standards and the party that seizes this agenda could be more likely to secure a parliamentary majority at the next election. Otherwise ‘none of the above’ could be the big winner if struggling families feel their concerns are not being heard.

“If we fail to address the concerns that led to the Brexit vote, we will have missed a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform our economy and society so it truly works for everyone.”

Money or debt is the most common concern for people in the lowest income group. The next most common concerns are physical health, caring for someone, housing, immigration and work or finding a job.

JRF commissioned the National Centre for Social Research to add new questions and analysis to their annual British Social Attitudes survey, and extensive interviews and focus groups by YouGov.

Together, these paint a picture of low-income voters feeling the strain of mounting financial pressures in their day to day lives.

Although concerns about Brexit, politics and current affairs came up in the discussions, they did not dominate, and often were secondary to more personal issues.

The analysis comes in the aftermath of the General Election and party conferences, where the Conservatives and Labour both examined their electoral appeal to people struggling to make ends meet, their economic policies and Brexit.
