Random observation from my commute today:
So my workshop is in Bad Enochs constituency- leafy Essex villages, much beloved by early forum rides, not too far from Sawbridgeworth. Occasionally see Rod Stewart in the local coop buying the paper(he gets the Mirror and the FT). Classic tory heartlands area.
On any other occasion I’d say about 75% of all houses through the villages would be displaying Vote Tory placards on their perfectly manicured privet hedges but so far haven’t seen one.
In fact it’s pretty hard to gauge as I’m not seeing any signs at all apart from one house displaying a Deform banner.
There’s zero chance they’ll vote labour round here- mix of retired boomers in sprawling bungalows that they bought for pennies, premier league footballers and ladies that lunch in their customised range rovers and giant Porsches. So I wonder if they’re still tory voters but too embarrassed to admit it or if they’ll go over to Lib Dem/reform.
