The Red Wall

The "Red Wall" refers to a group of historically Labour-supporting parliamentary constituencies in northern England and parts of the Midlands that shifted their support to the Conservative Party in recent elections. These areas, traditionally associated with working-class voters and industrial communities, changed political allegiance due to concerns over economic decline, job security, and shifts in party policies. The term highlights this geographic and political transformation, illustrating a realignment in voter preferences that challenges conventional political loyalties and impacts national election strategies.
