- The UKIP vote came almost exclusively from the
working class traditional Labour
parts of the constituency (which did mostly vote leave but not emphatically so) and I
suspect their ~ 5,000 votes last
time split roughly 3,000 Labour, 2,000 Tory.
I
suspect a big
part of that is luck - being in the right industry at the right
time, being surrounded by generous people who helped amplify my
work, and being given opportunities to speak at conferences, to
work with great clients, and to earn the trust of an invaluable community.
