The mention of Conservative voters should be obvious - they elected the current government so it won't seek to upset them unnecessarily. And you can be poor and still vote Conservative. It's not pure selfishness that insists upon this universal funding model, the new DG has explained why this is the case.
Where is your evidence that Labour voters want the licence fee retained? I was certainly not aware that they were all BBC fans - in fact, my observations are that they tend to steer away from the BBC in favour of the commercial channels.

I have mentioned DTT because, as you know, it is my staunch view that the commercial stations will ultimately abandon that means of broadcasting. It is entirely relevant to my argument.
