We have had 101 years of Labour here, even tough the gap has been closing there's little hope of getting rid of the Labour MP in my lifetime. Every election they vote for Labour because their father, grandfather and great grandfather voted Labour, then they spend the next 4-5 years complaining about Labour!
We have very strong left wing Momentum support here who keep reminding the uneducated that the Conservatives closed all the mines. I engaged one on social media about mines in the Rhondda, his reply was "We all know the Conservatives closed most of the mines". He provided a Wiki link, it took me all of 10 minutes to work out that since WW2 the scores for mine closures were 7 for the Conservatives and 12 for Labour. The left wing extremists hate facts and just get brave hurling abuse from their keyboards.

Interesting notion you’ve brought up here, because I floated in the Brexit thread it was impossible for 33 million people to make fully informed choices. Yet I was shot down.
Further, assuming this holds do mothers vote Conservative? As we’d a Conservative Government from 1979-1997 (22 to 40 year olds) a lot of people’s dads must have voted Conservative. Do their children do the same, because they are equally wealthy and privileged? Or are they “too clever (enough to not die in a fire at least) and they always make informed choices?
