2/3 Our analysis suggests Reform can be split into two tribes:
🔹 'Blue' voters - often from petty bourgeoisie, favour a smaller state, anti income redistribution and benefits, 💙 Thatcher
♦️ 'Red' voters - more working class, want Gov to redistribute income, ⬆️ private sector regulation
🔹 'Blue' voters - often from petty bourgeoisie, favour a smaller state, anti income redistribution and benefits, 💙 Thatcher
♦️ 'Red' voters - more working class, want Gov to redistribute income, ⬆️ private sector regulation
