Far-right Reform UK, far-left Green Party support on rise among British Indians, finds census
"Political support among British Indians is increasingly volatile. "Older, long settled and working middle-class British Indians are drifting towards Reform, while those that are younger and with more recent roots in the UK are turning to the Greens. "The Green Party is also committed to ensuring that anti-racism is embedded across the Party. Trade and business emerged as the highest priority within this corridor (56 per cent), with strong support for the recent signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA). "What this research also shows about the Indian diaspora community is that sense of still being very internationally connected and very focused on economic prosperity," she said.
