To be honest there’s plenty of evidence out there and analysis into class that cover these definitions are, I see no further need to add to them in order to assist you in diverting the discussion around my fairly uncontentious point.

If you think class has no meaning or is unimportant you’re entitled to that view. However YouGov and others don’t cling to them in defining this demographic for no reason.
