Naming The Day

A big referendum turnout in Scotland and Wales. A creditable one in those parts of England having local elections on the same day, which would always include London and the old metropolitan counties due to the strange electoral arrangements that obtain there.

But in the areas most likely to vote Tory, and the areas of England most likely to vote Lib Dem, very low turnouts indeed, due to the higher ones elsewhere being nothing to do with the question on the referendum ballot paper.

It is very odd.

Could it be that Cameron expects traditional Labour and ex-Labour voters to be the people least likely to vote for something like this? If so, then I think that he might be onto something.
