How many people will care or recognise this new system?

Why only one Upper label?

Surely there are more defining things for the "super" elite, who have had long-standing familial fortunes dating back centuries, there is nothing about that here?

It just seems to want to move the focus downwards, away from the vast empires of certain families, so they can move about freely without undue criticism. (Undue, due to the reality of our much revered capitalistic life)

This cannot be so much a coincidence in a time of approaching upheaval in Europe, where a lot of this super elite reside, I very much doubt they would desire a second proletariat revolution focused on them (France).

I wont purpose this "system" as anything other than methodical science, but it seems rather circumstantial to occur now.

I guess it makes sense for me though..

My mum thinks im middle class because of what i own but i felt working class but that would define me as having very little money security, but i feel i dont own enough to be middle class, i also dont act like im better than everyone else which a lot of middle class do, im also not a complete ****

So i guess this new class system makes sense.
 
Stupid survey.

I messed around with it and to be part of "the poorest and most deprived class group" you:

- Earn £10-25k;
- Rent;
- Savings of £0-10k;
- Know an accountant, scientist and solicitor;
- Go to Stately homes.

Yes, that makes perfect sense.
 
Survey doesn't make sense to me.. and I was ranked Elite. I wouldn't consider myself anything other than Technical MC.

per their definitions anyone who just won the lottery would be Elite regardless of lifestyle.
 
This indicator is total rubbish. Try playing around with it to see just how poor it is. To be elite all you need is a lot of money. I put in, for a laugh, earning the top amount, renting property, no savings, friends are cleaners, farm workers, electricians and shop assistants. You still are elite.

All that means is that different classes have different criteria. Why should there be a different class for every combination of attributes?

Of course, you can disagree with what those criteria or the class labels are.

Because when your intention is to pigeon hole people (which is the entire point of the class system) you can't have overlapping rules which mean people can't be placed or split across two.
