Talk:Mystery:Why is England More Liberal than the United States? (view source)
Revision as of 22:43, July 20, 2011
, 22:43, July 20, 2011→Population Density??: Rural southern England
::::::: Further muddying the issue are the demographics of voters across the UK. The south, which is less rural, more urban, and more middle-class, tends to be more supportive of the conservative party. The north, noted for its larger proportions of working class, tends to be labour (more left-wing) supporting. Despite this, the northern countryside tends to be predominantly made up of conservative voters, and northern towns tend to be staunch Labour supporters. Thus the influence of population density on voting seems to be reversed, or outweighed by other factors, depending on which portion of the country you are from. --[[User:Maninahat|Maninahat]] 14:49, 20 July 2011 (EDT)

::::::::Sure. And conversely, rural areas of the south of England (Cornwall apart) are staunchly conservative. Is it mere coincidence that church attendance is much higher in these areas than in London (atheist/non-Christian)? [[User:HollyS|HollyS]] 18:43, 20 July 2011 (EDT)
