The changing geography of voting Conservative in Great Britain: Is it all to do with inequality?

Ron Johnston and Charles Pattie

Environment and Planning A, 2016, vol. 48, issue 2, 213-219

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.
