Thickos
It is common knowledge, to me only, that middle class Labour supporters, despite being city dwelling, news-reading types, are often very much thicker than Conservatives. I really liked this blog post and the comments afterwards, as it got me thinking about why it is that so many of my contemporaries so blindly trumpet the New Labour line, when it seems obvious that many of them have never really asked themselves why. I hadn't considered that many people simply choose to become left wing through peer concensus, due to not really having a clue what to think, and so, frightened to offend, take the path of least resistance...with a subconcious groupthink feeling that to be left wing is to mark yourself out as 'a nice person', thus the choice of being a Labour supporter is almost a consumerist one.
