The biggest surprise for me was Kensington's swing to Labour a constituency full of millionaires and bankers.Yes it does have social housing people as well but they wouldn't account for the swing .It seems as though the millionaires are turning away from the Tories and may not return to the fold.Why ? I reckon it's Brexit wot dun it.
Kensington has a very diverse community with many foreign people working ,studying and living there.It also a has considerable youth presence ie young, professional, Europhile constituents.Indeed 70% of that demographic voted against Brexit.
The Lib Dems also increased their share of the vote to about 12.5%. (Lady)Victoria Borwick (Cons)is a Brexiter, she had to go |
