Why are Tory voters poor and uneducated?

Almost all polls show that the higher educated someone is the more likely they are to vote Labour, even when age is accounted for. Additionally the higher earning professionals tend to be more likely to vote labour compared to those on lower wages.

From my experience, this can't be more accurate. Almost every Tory I've met is generally a chav who hangs around street corners with a bottle of frosty jacks and a stolen pack of ****. The question is what attracts these people to the tories. The answer is the Tories rely on simplistic answers to complex questions which appeal to the less educated. The Tories know how much they rely on the uneducated demographic hence the massive cuts to schools in an attempt to create a new generation of Tory voters.

In my opinion, its because they're bitter that their lack of education means they can't get a job so blame immigrants and the EU. Anyone have any alternate theories?

It sounds like you're baiting, but I'll answer your question seriously nonetheless.

Labor simply doesn't represent the 'poor and uneducated' anymore like it used to. Unless they are migrants or some other ethnic minority.

Why vote for a party that doesn't represent your self-interests?

Let's look at the facts - This poll (amongst many others) consistently show Tories as being less educated.

I can actually write a wonderful answer on why the poor vote Tory but I've only got ten minutes so I'm placemarking! Fear not I shall return my fellow friends.

They’re the exception to the rule most Tory voters are rich and privately educated

So Conservative voters are either rich and privately educated or not rich and publically educated? I have a worrying feeling this isn't very good criteria to predict Tory support.

They’re MAINLY rich and/or publicly educated or they’re part of a small group of poor misguided people who believe voting Tory is strength rather than false consciousness.

As far as the poor Tory voters suffering from false class consciousness... it’s just that what more do you need to know. The need to be targeted and in a warm and accepting way rather than you idiots. They need to be made to understand rather than driven further into their holes of bitterness and ignorant Tory voting.

The OP said the higher educated you are the more likely you are to vote Labour. I said rich and privately educated I didn’t say rich people who’d gone through the state system and gone on to do a PhD.

Huh? How have you even determined that they're "ignorant" or "bitter" for voting Tory? I mean I could just as easily tar Labour, or even the LDs, with that brush, given the class warfare rhetoric and identity politics both have become partial towards. Even the Tories partake of this activity, so I don't consider them much better, but you have this strange attitude about these people, that somehow they're stupid for not voting Labour. Because...? Not everyone is so thick as to not see the risk of creating a culture of dependence, that will in turn guarantee votes for a certain party. Maybe you should rethink your attitude towards these people.

There is a huge left-leaning bias in universities with as many as 80% of Professors being Liberals.

Tories do not and will never care about the poor and working class they like them there. At least Labour is only restricted by the centrist electorate rather than not being arsed in it’s core.
