Fascinating polling from YouGov. Some headlines:

Of the polled ideologies, ‘Environmentalism’ and ‘Feminism’ are the most popular, with clear majorities having favourable views of both (66% and 56% respectively). Majorities of Labour, Lib Dem, Green and even Conservative voters say they approve of both (Conservatives only very narrowly for feminism), as do all age groups. But the age-group most in favour of environmentlism are 50-64 year-olds.

‘Liberalism’ and ‘Socialism’ are both more popular than ‘Conservatism’.

Virtually nobody will admit they have a favourable view of ‘Fascism’, even Reform voters (4%) - but a majority of Reform voters have favourable views of ‘Nationalism’

    I wonder how truthful any of this is anyway? One of the reason Western democracies love secret ballots is that it allows someone to proclaim something in public and vote the opposite in private.

    Also agree with comment about how much people actually understand terms. For instance, I wonder whether people think Anarchism is bomb-throwing terrorist chaos.
