Johnston, R.J. and Pattie, C.J. (2015) The changing geography of voting Conservative in Great Britain: is it all to do with inequality? Environment and Planning A. ISSN 0308-518X
Abstract
In a series of publications, Dorling has argued that there is a strong correlation between levels of inequality in Great Britain and the spatial concentration of Conservative party support at general elections. His interpretation of this relationship is questioned; the interpretation is inconsistent with the data and fails to take account of Britain’s changing party system and electoral geography.
