Look at which parties are in control of which parts of the country. There is a trend (more affluent tend to be Tory which always suggested to me the more educated majority vote Tory. Odd way to look at it I know) I'm from Trafford in Manchester and we have been in control by the tories (thank god) for as long as I can remember. If you must generalise it then most on benefits or work in public sector tend to prefer labour policies. Business owners (job creators) tend to go Conservative. If you must be a bell end assume how many people on benefits or PS there are in the south?
Your regional rant is just stupid. Stupid people tend to vote labour and there are stupid people in the south too.
Did I say two? I said he and his family thats more than two. I have met and know many northerners and I dont recall any of them ever having leanings toward any party other than Labour. Your regional rant is just stupid. Stupid people tend to vote labour and there are stupid people in the south too.
You are right though in that it also tends to be trend on wealth vs poverty and education. I suppose it also supposedly means the south is wealthier or better educated than the north.
Interesting editorial article in the Independent on Boris.

Superb verbal caricature of his remarkable qualities, obviously another Boris fan! He is certainly cooking on gas, personally, and does show the modern politicos for what they are. Drab. Boring. Humdrum. Facile. Two Faced. Turncoat. Slimeballs. Which Boris, is most certainly, not!!!

That's because you're an ignorant 
. In the part of North Yorkshire where I lived Labour put up no more than a token effort, both MP's were Tories with huge majorities. North Yorkshire County Council has 45 Tory councillors and 1 Labour councillor.TallbutBuxomly said:

Judging by the fact that you drive an 11 year old POS Audi and most of my Northern friends drive new Range Rovers I'd put you in the bottom 10% of the northern socio economic rankings which must mean you're very poor indeed compared to your southern chums.

Any prick who can prove they have a job could get a Range Rover on credit, most people are not that fking stupid though.skinley said:

I was reading all the rest of the comments thinking about whether to bother wasting time responding but you seem to have covered it.

Anyone who votes for whatever party automatically doesn't deserve a vote IMO.
Quite.That is the aspect that pisses me off.
Secondly, you seem like a massive bell.

I have a friend from Yorkshire who openly admits that he always votes Labour because his dad told him to. This seems quite acceptable to his northern friends.
Maybe he believes in family loyalty. In other words he probably doesn't care which party gets in so he might as well support his dad.skinley said:

Firstly, how often have you voted Tory in the past 30 years? You sound like an automatic right winger in the same way other people are automatic left wingers.
Secondly, you seem like a massive bell.
You've not quite got the point. There's no problem with voting for the same party for 30 years, assuming you have made an informed decision. The problem occurs when people vote for a party "because that's what I/my parents/some bloke at the pub always do".Secondly, you seem like a massive bell.
