That's ok, they are all left wing/socialist/EUSSR/communist* rags which are all part of the giant media conspiracy against UKIP

It's quite interesting how most of the major cities in the England tend to be labour voters, and the areas in the countryside around them tend to be Conservative:

Nicola Sturgeon - Am I the only person that thinks she's a cross between, a nazi, a communist, and a thatcher'ite' yet she hates Tories. Horrible person.

I think Shrek is sooner or later going to have to admit to princess that he had a secret love child who he hid in Scotland

I think that map quite closely follows distribution of wealth within boundaries as well.

Which is strange considering those on minimum wage have been better off under the con/lib coalition the last 5 years than they would have been under labour.

I can only assume you are out of your face on recreational drugs to come up with this load of horse-****.

The problem is they don't know that, all they know is that they were better off in the time before the last five years, when Blair/Brown were raiding the countries savings, selling off the gold and maxing out the credit cards in order to spend spend spend.

That's extremely doubtful. Coalition changes, taken together, have hit the lowest income groups the most in percentage terms.

Just listened to another UKIP statement in response to the SNP manifesto talking about British taxpayers money going to Scottish people.

As a Scot that annoys me, am I not British? Am I not part of the UK which UKIP supposedly represents?

I actually like some of their ideas then they come out with guff like this, time and time again.

 

[Tunney]

And those on mimimum wage have not just been hit financially. Their access to services and justice has also been hit.

What did the UKIP spokesman say exactly? He will have been referring to the extra spending per head that Scotland receives due to the Barnett forumula.

They wouldn't be speaking to Scotland as they have a cats chance in hell up there, if you're Scottish i don't envy your choices, it's either Labour or the SNP...ouch!

Does it? Poor people often vote Tory - they're not dead cert Labour, as some might expect.

Going off where I live in merseyside I have yet to meet or hear of anyone who votes tory at all, It's always labor / libs / green.

Torys are only remembered here for things like the poll tax, closing the pits and now the bedroom tax. They are not liked or trusted as a rule here and I can't see that changing while the torys consist mostly of millionaire snobs from the south bringing hardship to the poorest in the north.

Labor's not much better. As my dad used to say "they are two sides of the same dirty coin"

Heseltine is one of the few popular Tories in Merseyside. In the '80s the Tory government had a plan for a graduated decline for Liverpool, cutting off funding and forcing people to move to other parts of the country but Heseltine said no, and forced them to regenerate the city instead.

 

[Hagar]

Liverpool may be largely Labour and the towns like St Helens. On the Wirral and northwards towards Formby and Southport however there are a lot of Conservative voters in Merseyside.

Well people living in Scotland get more per head than those living in England, irrespective of whether they are Scots, English or even Pakistani.

 

[Freefaller]

Well I'm still completely lost

 

[Judgeneo]

There are a lot of conservative voters and sympathisers in safe labour seats, but they just keep quiet or don't vote at all, as the anti-tory rhetoric is so strong and prevalent

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

And some of the rich vote Labour.
But in general those with more tend to lean right and those with less tend to lean left. Obviously there will be exceptions.
