Rural areas tend to be more conservative than cities in many countries. In the United States, heavily rural states such as [[Montanta]] and [[Kansas]] on the whole vote [[Republican]] while more urban states such as [[New York]] and [[California]] leant Democrat. Other countries follow the same trend such as in Britain and Japan where cities traditionally vote for the [[Labour Party]] and [[Democratic Party of Japan]] respectively (left-wing) and rural areas vote for the [[Conservative Party]] and [[Liberal Democratic Party (Japan)|Liberal Democratic Party]] respectively.
