* Labour voters top the infidelity table, with over a quarter (26%) admitting to having had an affair.
* Reform UK supporters are revealed as the nation’s most faithful, with a mere 5% confessing to cheating.
* Politics is a passion-killer for many, as 27% say political rows at home have pushed their relationship to breaking point.
* Study conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site
New research suggests that a voter’s choice at the ballot box might predict more than just their views on the economy – it could reveal their likelihood of staying faithful.
A survey involving 2,400 members of the UK’s largest affairs site IllicitEncounters.com blew the lid off voters’ private lives, revealing a steamy political divide.
Topping the cheat charts, a whopping 26% of Labour voters admitted to being unfaithful to a partner, leaving Tory voters in the dust at 18%, and Lib Dems trailing at 15%.
Green voters also showed a surprisingly spicy streak, with 14% admitting to infidelity. But at the other end of the table, Reform UK supporters emerged as the most faithful of all, with just 5% saying they’ve cheated on their partner – making them statistically the least likely to hop into bed with someone else.
The poll also revealed that nearly a third (24%) of people say they’d be more tempted to cheat with someone who shares their political views, whilst 27% say political rows at home have pushed their relationship to breaking point.
Serial cheater Mark*, 38, a Labour-voting Londoner, says he’s just following party orders. “I live my life by the slogan ‘For the Many, Not the Few’, so why should I just stick to one woman? That sounds a bit like a monopoly to me.
If being a ‘love rat’ is wrong, I don’t want to be right. I’m just a ‘progressive’ in the streets and a ‘revolutionary’ in the sheets!”
Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert at IllicitEncounters.com, says the biggest shock isn’t Labour topping the table – it’s who’s at the bottom.
“Let’s be honest – if you’d asked people to guess which voters were the most faithful, very few would have put Reform UK at the top,” she says. “Yet here they are, miles ahead of everyone else.”
She adds: “Labour voters are out there living up to their passionate reputation, the Tories are quietly misbehaving in the background… and Reform supporters are apparently staying home with a cup of tea. Who knew?”
