The north east region is the only region in England in which the Tories don't breach 30%. Without comparing turnout though I can't say whether the right does not vote (simply anti Tory) or whether it does not exist.

Depends what you mean by 'real left wingers'. Maybe Brighton [Green Party]

Hmmm I was thinking more of communism/Marxism - the greens are neither.

There ain't many old-style Marxists about and those that are often fail to grasp Britain has moved on from the 70s and 80s.

I have little doubt that I will. What I mean is most hard left people I've met speak as if Britain is still an industrial power and that actions like strikes are going to achieve anything other than angering the right-wing public and being put on a watchlist.

Will never happen. Our moderated capitalism is now driving us to space which in itself could slash the cost of production for many goods. Couple that with the rest of the world innovating and we have a bright future.

The only bad part to capitalism is in unregulated finance and as Keynes once said, capitalism produces an upward staircase.

Sheffield is pretty left-wing. As is most of the NE.

No idea; but where ever it is, I'll be staying as far away from it as I can.

Islington.

Yes but there's no reason to tax people for something the private sector will do. A couple of companies are going for space mining now.

What are we taxing people for that companies can do? Tax money will be spent to please tax payers with proper efficient public services where private companies will spend tax money, through privatisation, to please shareholders with profit in mind.

I do understand this is not the place for this subject since I am just asking where to go to if I want to live in a very left wing area.
