CUTTING NHS waiting times and easing the cost-of-living are top of the agenda for voters who are “totally exhausted” with status quo politics, a major post-election survey has found.

Despite Labour winning the election with the lowest vote share of any governing party to enter No 10, the study found non-Labour voters believed the party had a “mandate for change.”

This is because this month’s election was the latest in a series of votes that had seen the public demand a change from the status quo following the 2016 Brexit referendum and 2019 general election, said Luke Tryl, executive director of More In Common, which published the study with UCL today.
