Strangely enough, it is the phenomenon of *working class Tory voters* who are the most likely to put a sizeable minority of Tory MPs back in Parliament at the next election. This can be explained by the following: 1) When Thatcher gave working class people the right to buy their Council Houses at a knock-down price, thereafter they ALWAYS voted Tory. 2) The people who read the Mail, Sun and Express, and who believe the narrative which journalists employed by Viscount Rothermere and Rupert Murdoch promote on EVERY SINGLE political debate program and news program on EVERY SINGLE TV channel on EVERY SINGLE DAY of EVERY SINGLE WEEK in EVERY SINGLE MONTH of EVERY SINGLE YEAR - are almost overwhelmingly the working classes. Hence it is mainly blue-collar workers, non-graduates, who voted for Brexit. And given that it is predominantly the working classes who are more easily manipulated, it is they who vote Tory in substantial numbers. Until recently I lived in the constituency of Havant, which has never, ever had an MP of any OTHER party that the Conservatives. The demographic comprises a mixture of builders, factory workers, shop-keepers, etc. Very few people have been educated beyond GCSEs. Most took the opportunity to buy their Council Houses at a knock-down price, then later sold their houses and moved onto the next stage. In Havant constituency, 77% of the population voted Leave in 2016. The Tory MP won by and OVERWHELMING majority. Even now, I'd be AMAZED if he lost his seat. But there again, support for Reform UK is stong in Havant - hence 2 Reform candidates becoming councillors for Havant Borough Council. Racism, xenophobia and bigotry is rife in my old constituency, and the majority of people are unable to differentiate between the anecdotal and evidence-based fact. Whereas in nearby Chichester - a far more middle class and affluent area - support for the Lib Dems is much stronger, and Chichester District Council is now under Lib Dem control. It is notable that the constituency immediately to the West of Havant is Fareham and Waterlooville - the constituency of Suella Braverman. She is predicted to win comfortably, albeit with a somewhat reduced majority. The demographic is similar, except that there are many naval personnel living in Gosport, and people from the UK Armed Forces hardly ever vote Labour, but almost always for the Tories.

@timelwell7002 Sadly, the basis of your point is true the self image of the aspirant middle class will always ensure a 30% Tory vote, even after the historic shambles of the last 14 years, the ethics free piece of dross that is Bozo, the laughable incompetence of Truss, and like the MAGA cult they will always rationalise.

@@Warbaman Once you try and put up tax for people who already pay more than their share for those who do not contribute, they will leave the UK.

Rees-Mogg literally admitted at a conservative conference it was a vote suppression measure. It isn't a guess or reading between the lines, he says it barefaced. It isn't up for question.

Voter ID and boundary changes are just forms of Tory gerrymandering

And in a normal general election it might do so by a few per cent. But this time it will be like trying to stop a tsunami by building a sandcastle on the beach. Hopefully the new government will abolish this photo ID nonsense, and reduce the Westminster elections voting age to 16, as it is in Scotland for the Holyrood elections. That should keep the Tories out for a while.
