Is Labour the 48% or the 52%?

Recommended Posts

Evening Everyone :)

 

Where does Labour actually stand in all of this?

 

Is it the 48% or the 52%?

 

Can see the argument for both sides....

 

Thoughts and explanations please!

 

Cheers

Sol

Would be SO interesting to find out the demographics of this support :)

The Conservatives could say the same.

A proportion far exceeded by their MP's?

 

Anyone know the percentages for the party's?

Did any Lib-Dem MP's vote out?

100% of Green MP's voted Remain ;0)

Sol, Google Lord Ashcroft EU referendum survey for a bit more info.

 

It doesn't tell you how affluent/educated particular voters are but it might interest you.

All 8 Lib Dem MPs backed Remain. As did all the SDLP. The DUP backed Brexit. Plaid Cymru and the SNP all backed remain. Sinn Fein backed remain.

 

10 Labour MPs backed Brexit and about a third of the Tories.

Addition at 10:42...........

 

Joking aside. That's one of the reasons that we are in such a pickle. The will of the people is not represented in the House of Commons and they, the Goverment MP's, are the ones who are in charge of negotiating the new trading arrangements. The 'Leave' campaign could say anything they wanted (and they did) knowing that they would never have to deliver on the inferences of their slogans because they have no single constituency in the House. Leaver's voted on many different things but it was all a 'pig in a poke'. The only decision made on Referendum Day was a simple 'in' or 'out'.

 

Many Leave voters decided on vague campaign sound bites.

No Government will be mandated on vague campaign sound bites.

No. I wrote those in post 6 to the very best of my recollection. The BBC has that data.......of course, the way an MP says he will vote does not guarantee that's how he actually did :)

 

(did JC vote Brexit with DC, did BoJo really vote remain? lol)

 

Edit: sorry do you mean how Labour and Tory party members etc voted, not just MPs? I haven't seen such a survey, sorry.
