Thought this illuminating. From YouGov and a poll on striking Amazon workers. Who supports them? 60%, who opposes them, 22%.
Unsurprisingly Labour voters overwhelmingly support them, though wonder who the 4% are and 6% who strongly or somewhat respectively oppose them. Liberald Democrats are somewhat less effusive, but still overall strongly or somewhat support them. Let's ignore the Tories. More interesting again are the Remain/Leave divisions on the issue. 28% of that latter cohort somewhat or strongly oppose. 52% somewhat or strongly support. Remain, 13% somewhat or strongly oppose as against 72%. Now, long stated here that once the referendum was passed there was no point in a Remain position, and I'd be the last to see it as a token of unalloyed progressivism, but thought this about an actual dispute was quite useful in terms of determining the strength of attitudes within that cohort.
Btw, some hilarious (deliberate? trolling?) misunderstanding of polling and how it is carried out on the part of some tweeting in response to the poll and disbelieving that there's majority support for the strikers.
