That’s because significantly more of this group backed the Conservatives in the 2019 election.

Among the former Tory voters on our panel, there is a split on who to vote for this time.

Some are switching to Labour.

“Even though Conservatives do seem like they have clear plans, their clear plans don’t seem genuine anymore,” said one voter.

“Even though Labour don’t seem as clear I do still think I’m going to put my trust in them.”

Others have turned to Reform UK.

“I can’t trust the other two, I just don’t feel as if they’re good enough to run the country,” one voter said.

And some say they will still back the Conservatives.

“Although the Tories have made mistakes, I would rather stick with what I know than what I don’t know,” a panel member said.

“And I am concerned about a supermajority with Labour.”

The panel is a unique online community produced for Sky News by pollster YouGov.

They represent more than 48 different constituencies and a range of political views.

Six weeks ago, they were all undecided, now some say they are more certain.

Many have been put off the two main parties.

One panellist said: “I’ve decided to vote for Lib Dems this time around and it’s not a tactical vote, it’s a vote for a party I think that probably has our best interests at heart.”

And smaller parties like the Greens, are picking up support from some of our panel.

“More of their policies align with my values and I think it’s a good way for me to signal to whichever party is in power that I care about the environment,” another voter said.

But a majority are still undecided and feeling disillusioned and disenfranchised.

One voter told us: “I don’t feel like any party has really provided anything that’s interested me, made me enthusiastic about the process or about their policies.”

Another said: “There’s been no defining moment as such, yet I’m hoping there will be before the end of or the beginning of Thursday.”
