YouGov have published some polling, conducted within the last week on which groups the voters identify the Tory Party and the Labour Party with. The findings aren’t that surprising. The Tories are perceived to be really close to the rich, businessmen/The City, and voters in the south. Whilst Labour are seen as being really close to trade unions, the working class, and benefit claimants.

So while Scotland's share is 50% higher than it's population it's not five times greater

I look forward to Hacked Off deprecating this intrusion into his private life...
"He called his local Essex constituents ‘oiks’; "
Whittingdale will offer them lashings of pork barrel goodies, whip them into a frenzy and promise to make local Es-sex girls born again virgins. They'll be gagging for him I'll be bound.
Landslide Con HOLD ... but very tightly ....

What is it with Leavers and their shadowy East European friends?
Security breaches with a page 3 model is one thing, a Belorussian honeytrap quite another.
and how much is the booby twin being paid ?
Putin to win re-election 1.001
Er...thats about it....
Meanwhile the only person emerging from this with a shred of dignity is the dominatrix.....

He said that Corbyn has been anti EU for years and most of Labour MPs are ambivalent, but within the PLP there is a hardcore of Blairites completely PRO and the thinking is it was easier for Corbyn to toe their line without any enthusiasm.
Virtually everybody went off with bundles of leaflets to deliver, mainly 60 years +, as McKinlay pointed out, this won't be about polls it will be about who votes and we all know who does.
(He lives in SE Asia & has been out of UK too long, I think, to have a vote)
Thank God for the EU.
Your obvious success has zero to do with EU politicians and bureaucrats, they are a hindrance not a help, you simply don't need them.

Without knowing it SO and Old King Cole make an interesting point: 55% of our trade (and its growing) is now outside the EU, which is a huge economic and political union right on our doorstep.
Think how much more our trade could grow globally if we had the tools and policies to make the most of it?
They will be more interested in making our future trading relationship work.
It's a myth.
Mr Southam runs a brilliant business, well done him, its nothing to do with anybody else.
Whether or not, all we ever get from you is racist anger. There is no reason to be anti-EU other than racism.
I got Winston Churchill. Which are you?
How do you get to over 65 reaching firm conclusions that are so wrong?
There you go, a new hobby for you, drop me and concentrate on Labour Leave, a much bigger target for your inadequacy and frustration.
F1: bit sleepy. Will set about trying to write the post-race piece, though I'll do my best to avoid spoilers here.
Worth noting that you should have the mute button ready if watching the highlights on Channel 4, as Steve Jones is an imbecile.
There are a wide range of political and philosophical reasons to oppose the EU unfortunately it seems you are too dumb to understand them.
We should be aiming to be a hugely successful global trading nation, with the world as our oyster.
Not just accept the straitjacket of remaining a medium-sized European one.
BTW, good morning all.

It's time to free ourselves to make the most of it.
Obviously I'd like to think I'd avoid the same path but that seems unlikely.
I feel sorry for you that you have such little confidence in this country.
Alex Massive had an article about how he would have to consider his options regarding independence in the case of a Leave vote
I am relatively relaxed about pooling sovereignty - the EU cannot prevent us from having this referendum, which shows that ultimately we are in charge.
The price we'd pay for significantly reducing EU migration is too high in my opinion: less consumer choice, higher prices and significantly reduced access to the single market.
I don't love the EU as an institution, I think the Brussels gravy train is obscene; but overall I'd rather be on the inside with a chance to do something about it, than on the outside with no influence and reduced access.
There is a lot of self interest in your stance, that's fine, that applies to us all. This unfettered, 500 million etc etc may be true but it comes at a cost, membership fees of £millions a day (arguable in total but a fact nonetheless) paid by ordinary taxpayers. Where do you think that £1.7bn, that Cameron refused to pay but did anyway, comes from?
As a labour voter, surely you see that as unfair - the little people propping up businesses for their wealthy owners? Because that is precisely what is happening.
Outside the common external tariff, and being willing to liberalise on regulation where the EU is not, signing dynamic free trade agreements, I think we could do much better.
Another Remainder wimp....
