In GlobalData’s previous survey for the 2019 General Election, the Conservatives held sway in all supermarkets except ASDA and Co-op, having enticed Morrisons shoppers to vote blue and holding onto both Aldi and Lidl.

GlobalData lead retail analyst Zoe Mills commented: “While supermarket owners are generally not shy of sharing their political allegiances, especially in the run-up to elections, they should be mindful of the political make-up of their customers, lest they alienate significant numbers of them.”
