Both Labour and the Conservatives are vying for working-class support as the countdown until election day begins. Mr Johnson is hoping that this election can end the political deadlock of Brexit and produce a parliament of MPs who can pass his EU withdrawal bill. A huge 47 percent of working class people are planning to vote for Boris Johnson’s party and just 27 percent of people are set to vote for Labour, according to YouGov.

Only five percent of these working class voters said they would support the Brexit Party.

Working class voters are considered to be people who did not work, including pensioners, unemployed people and those on benefits.

Earlier this month, author and academic David Swift claimed that an influx of middle-class activists had isolated Labour from its working-class supporters.

Mr Swift argued the declining strength of trade unions has allowed middle-class “hobbyists” to increase their influence within Labour.

According to YouGov working-class voters were more likely to vote Conservative than Labour at the 2017 general election, by a margin of 44 percent to 42 percent.

At the same time, Labour made big gains in wealthier areas, with Kensington and Canterbury now represented by Labour MPs.

Mr Johnson is hoping to get the most votes in Labour Party Leave constituencies in a bid to secure a parliamentary majority.

According to research by Savanta ComeRess, the Tories are leading the polls by 10 points on 40 per cent of the vote, while Labour has 30.

Mr Farage said he thought that the Tories would be grateful after he withdrew candidates in the 317 seats the Conservatives won in the last election, but noted that the Prime Minister’s party had shown “a refusal on their part to give an inch” since the announcement.

Mr Farage has said that he fears Mr Johnson will produce a deal that is “Brexit in name only” if Brexit Party MPs do not gain seats in Parliament and are unable to hold him to account.

The Labour Party has vowed to close the gender pay gap by 2030.

However, the Conservative Party has hit back and said that Labour was “over-promising something it could not deliver”.

In his first big campaign speech, Boris pledged £18 billion for research and development.

This comes as the outgoing European Council President Donald Tusk urges UK voters not to “give up” on stopping Brexit.

YouGov said it ran its survey of 1,619 voters between Nov. 11 and 12.
