There’s a reason why Tories are more likely to be Traitors ...Middle East

But the show has inadvertently provided extra entertainment to the UK, by revealing a fascinating insight into the world views of British voters.

How can we explain this?

Working at an organisation exploring the social psychology that drives voter behaviour and concerns, we were naturally interested in whether people’s attitudes towards the treacherous behaviour that The Traitors encourages might tell us any more about their general psyche. So this week we researched whether viewers of the show are more likely to see themselves as a Faithful or a Traitor, as well as what the attitudes of these two groups of viewers can tell us about the British public more generally.

Unfortunately for Labour, however, there are Traitors among us, and these voters are much more likely to be Conservative supporters. In fact, 36 per cent of Traitors identified as Tories, while only 24 per cent backed Labour – almost the inverse of the voting patterns of Britain’s Faithful.

A ceasefire at last - but the seeds of future conflicts have been sown

In the general election this year, a high threat perception was one of the strongest indicators of whether someone voted for Reform UK. This was driven in large part by concerns about threats posed by immigration (our polling also showed that Reform UK performs five points better with Traitors; Liberal Democrats five points better with Faithful).

Our polling also shows us that Britain’s Faithful are defined by higher levels of interpersonal trust. On the whole, those who see themselves as faithful are 10 percentage points more likely to agree that “most people can be trusted” over “you can’t be too careful with most people”, when compared to Britain’s Traitors.

So while our research highlights the depth of Britain’s political divide, there’s one thing both Faithful and Traitors can agree on: nothing brings Britain together quite like watching perfectly normal people become increasingly paranoid over breakfast.
