Johnston, R. and Pattie, C. (2016) The changing geography of voting Conservative in Great Britain: Is it all to do with inequality? Environment and Planning A, 48 (2). pp. 213-219. 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.
