The main conclusion that can be drawn from the YouGov poll on the House of Commons drinking culture, criticised by Green Party MP Hannah Spencer, is that there is a clear majority across the political spectrum that its a bad idea. No doubt many giving their opinion will reflect that if they were found drinking at work there would be a problem.
That said the detail of the poll is interesting. Only 20% of Reform supporters think Commons drinking is OK. Unsurprisingly by contrast Nigel Farage criticised Ms Spencer’s remarks. By contrast- and a corrective to media comment that think Reform and Greens are essentially just populists- Green Party supporters are clearly not on board with drinking at all. Whether they back temperance as Farage backs drinking is less clear.
