By making a cold calculation of how many votes they can scoop up by tailoring individual policies to voters’ concerns, they can fine-tune their manifestos and campaign strategies. James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners, says: “Come 2024, both parties will be aiming to win Middle England. But at this election, Middle England has a few different faces. Bellamy said the lyrics on the album were inspired by "the increasing uncertainty and instability in the world [...] as the Western empire and the natural world, which have cradled us for so long, are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next." [6] Transition – that’s the word I’d use now. End is coming, the end of what, though? It’s not the end of humans. It’s definitely not the end of the world. It’s definitely not the end of evolution. In reality, if we’re honest about it, it’s not even the end of humanity, right? But it’s the end of something. It’s the end of a certain cycle of civilization. Expect all three parties to target these voters in constituencies like High Peak in Derbyshire, which has changed hands three times in the past 18 years and is currently held by the Tories with a majority of just 590.

Toyota Tony is the definitive swing voter at the next election. He drove his sensible, reliable and affordable Japanese car to the polling station in 2019 and voted Tory because he liked the look of Boris Johnson, but he now feels let down and is intending to vote Labour or Lib Dem. Just as Sunak risks losing millions of 2019 voters in the form of Toyota Tony, so Starmer risks losing millions of 2019 Labour voters characterised by Remainer Ruth. The logo below appears across the album material, which indicates the acronyms of the word “Will Of The People (WOTP)”. The Telegraph, though, has already done the hard work for them, by teaming up with pollsters and strategic consultants JL Partners to identify the voters that will decide whether Rishi Sunak or Sir Keir Starmer leads Britain into the second half of the decade.

Qureshi, Arusa (13 December 2022). "Muse's Matt Bellamy speaks about being inspired by Iron Maiden: "Metal has always been around for us" ". NME . Retrieved 6 September 2023. Will of the People’ reignites the spirit and energy of Muse’s former incarnations. ‘Kill or Be Killed’, for example, transports us to those early 2000s days when guitar-oriented brutality was central currency. Then there’s the swerving EDM synth of ‘Compliance’, which brings to mind 2009’s sonic scope-widening ‘The Resistance’. Most delicious of all is the heartbroken simplicity of ‘Ghosts (How Can I Move On)’, the musical equivalent of a faded photograph from the days when the 21 year-old Matt Bellamy channelled small-town yearning into 1999 debut ‘Showbiz’ – complete with a ‘Sunburn’-recalling piano part. His conclusion is clearly visible in the album’s content and songs where you can see masked people revolting against the system: This group is far more diverse than the Stop the Boats archetype, with 41 per cent working full-time, 33 per cent retired and an even distribution between working class and middle class. Despite its name, the female/male split is 57 per cent to 43 per cent. Viewers of the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Birmingham earlier this month would have seen 31-year-old Jacob Banks sing as the flag was ceremonially lowered towards the end of the jamboree. Wedged between upbeat sets by the likes of Ozzy Osbourne and Goldie, Banks’s performance was notable for its quiet grace. It was carried by his remarkable voice that can veer between the sweet soul of Sam Cooke and the rich, theatrical upper register of Benjamin Clementine. It’s a voice that dance music fans may know from his appearance on Chase & Status’s single Alive in 2013. And it’s a voice that is showcased to fantastic effect on Banks’s second album, Lies About The War.

For Sunak, the difference between winning and losing marginal seats could well be determined by whether the Right-wing vote is split between the Tories and Reform in seats like Blyth Valley, which switched from Labour to the Tories in 2019 with a majority of just 712. a b c Speter, Tiana (1 September 2022).

These gigs weren't part of the festivals tour or any other tours. For the Conservatives and Labour, the most important factors are the political issues that matter most to each archetype, and the constituency that they live in.

There was a time in the mid-‘90s when CDs by electronic music producer William Orbit were the go-to music for post-clubbing chilling out. His Strange Cargo trilogy, released between 1987 and 1993, featured symphonic ambient trance with a world music bent and included soothing vocals by the likes of electro-folk singer Beth Orton. The albums were catnip to people who liked relaxing and who may have recently gone travelling in India or Guatemala – in other words, most of the student population of Britain.The Will of the People Festivals Tour was the first largest tour of the album era. It took place between summer and winter of 2022. The band headlined festivals across Europe, with an additional few gigs on U.S. festivals. The show itself, at times, loosely resembled that of Simulation Theory World Tour's, having a large Murph-inspired inflatable figure on stage, overlooking the band and the crowd, and "The Power Glove" returning. During the festivals tour, a smaller tour, called the Will Of The People Theatre Tour, was announced in June of 2022. On it, Muse were performing in smaller venues across Europe and the USA. Some of them haven't seen Muse perform live in almost 20 years. The tour took place during the main legs of the festivals tour, in October 2022. Richards, Will (26 June 2022).
