Describe someone who hypothetically would support the Labour Party in the UK but Republicans in the US. Since Tory/Democrat seems to be infinitely more common. A coal miner perhaps?

Some religious left types, perhaps? With religion a much smaller role in British politics, they just vote for the more left wing party, but in the USA, feel more at home with the Republican Party because of things like abortion?

Also potentially a pro-gun voter, to my knowledge both Conservative and Labour supported the handgun ban.

Both make sense. I could also possibly see a coal miner who still votes Labour because of the legacy of Thatcher’s war on unions and the fact that climate change/green energy isn’t really a partisan issue there but would vote Republican here for the same reason.

So basically, Labour/Republican voters are just people who would have been Democrats before the 2000s.
