In the old days Labour was supported by the north of England and most of the inner areas of the cities (industry etc.) The conservatives were supported by the the south of England and most of the areas outside the inner cities. The south west of England is more Liberal Democrats. Scotland and Wales are mostly Conservative. Hereby the majority was often won by the Conservatives between 1945 and 1992. It was suggested this was because Britain had developed a 'middle class society' in stead of a 'working class society'.
