Mesmerized by a chart

Few nights ago I made this chart and video with data from Chap Hill Expert Survey, 1999-2019 and 2024 data sets (Downloadable here). To make it easier to present, I took some liberties, e.g. lumping up Farage parties (Reform, Brexit, and UKIP) together but still keeping the name Reform.

I have watched it maybe 500 times already. Labour Party’s movements are so self-explanatory, from Blair’s first government to Corbyn’s Great Leap Leftward to Starmer’s cowardly retraction of it.

This, to me, is everything.
