More than half (53%) of 2017 Conservative voters who took part in the European elections voted for the Brexit Party, Lord Ashcroft says in an article.

Only just over one in five (21%) stayed with the Tories.

Around one in eight (12%) switched to the Liberal Democrats. Labour voters from 2017 were more likely to stay with their party, but only a minority (38%) did so.

More than one in five (22%) went to the Lib Dems, 17% switched to the Greens, and 13% went to the Brexit Party.
