Just 0.13 per cent of the population voted for Boris Johnson

[Soph0571]

According to analysis from Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University, party members who supported Boris Johnson are even more ideologically unrepresentative of British voters than their other Conservative members. Some 85 per cent of Johnson's supporters are keen on a no-deal Brexit (this fell to 37 per cent among Hunt supporters). Though one in five Tory grassroots members would like to see less emphasis on climate change in public debate, this figure rises to one in four among Johnson supporters (the figure was around one in ten for Hunt supporters).

It’s the first time since the days of rotten or pocket boroughs, before the 1832 Reform Act, when politicians could use boroughs with very small electorates to gain undue influence in the houses of parliament, that only a few thousand people have wielded such extraordinary power.
