And yet the Mori figures for the 2015 election show that 27% in the D/E social demographic that voted,voted for the Tories.Without going too deeply into the statistics that group showed the second highest swing from Labour to Tory (2.5%) (C2 being the highest with 4%). How that transfers into votes I don't know but it shows that a significant number of the 'lower classes' contribute,for whatever reason, to there being a reactionary Tory government in power.
What I believe that showed is that people believed the Tory spin, that marketing strategy, of repeating a point over and over... "economic chaos" under Labour... they hammered that into the collective consciousness for months, and Labour under the dynamic leadership of Millipede couldn't shake it off... by the time the debates came around, Cameron didn't need to "win", or even convince anyone... just not say anything stupid...
The Tories had the money, and the press... they hired the best campaign strategists, and blew the rest out of the water...
