Can't see the graph ?
The socioeconomic class and Brexit voting in Norn Ire doesn't hold as well as in other (for now) parts of the UK.
Identity pretty much overrode it low income nationalist areas were remain and low income unionist areas Brexit... though in London I'd imagine the picture is similar with low income areas voting remain anyway?
When people were asked "are you worried about paying your bills" rather than put them in socioeconomic buckets a different picture emerged...anybody worried about their bills was less likely to vote Brexit. And those people could be income-band middle class as well.
Pensioners can be technically low income but have no worries about bills if house paid off/pension stable.
Age is the stronger Brexit correlator as a whole and, em, wanting the death penalty back. Cos reasons.
Ow yeah and wanting immigrants out...if you are in an area with barely any immigrants though where immigrant is "new and scary" . In areas with long established immigration, less so.
Again Northern Ireland bucks the trend, immigrants was irrelevant here with Brexit.
