Semper Fidelis


Heartening and depressing at the same time.

But undeniably giving the lie to the claim that the remaining Labour electorate is "imported," or that Labour has "lost touch with the white working class."

    Fascinating from Peter Oborne.

    ""Matthew Goodwin, the political scientist, has shown that UKIP polled higher in the North East and Yorkshire (16.7 percent of the popular vote, and 18 percent in Ed Miliband’s Doncaster) than any other region of Britain. In London, more affluent and more socially diverse, UKIP polled only 8.2 percent. These figures suggest that Labour is losing the working class vote in its provincial heartlands.""

    That's the real working-class party.

      No, someone always did come second here. And with rather better than 16.7 per cent, back in the day.
