Voting Behaviour and the Media Blurt
Social Factors
Demographics such as age, race/ethnicity and class all have an influence on how people vote. Region also has an impact
Younger generations tend to vote more left wing than those of older generations, who tend to lean more right
The lower social classes, or those who are economically worse off, tend to vote more often for parties such as Labour.
The richer south, with the exception of most of London, more often than not vote Conservative.
Even in 1997, South, South-East and East England all voted majority Conservative, while everywhere else in the nation voted Labour
