  1. Hello everyone,

    The first image displays a map illustrating the percentage of the population belonging to the ABC1 category, which is a classification originally created by the National Readership Survey (NRS) and subsequently used in the 2021 Census. This category typically aligns with what is considered the “middle-class”. As depicted, the highest percentages are predominantly found in South West and Central West London, while the lowest shares are primarily observed in Outer London, particularly in the East and West areas.

    The second image presents a table featuring the new parliamentary constituencies in London with the highest percentages of residents in the ABC1 category. It includes the predicted winner in the upcoming General Election, the expected margin of victory, the party expected to come in second place, and the previous notional winners.

    The third image displays a table showcasing the new parliamentary constituencies in London with the lowest percentages of residents in the ABC1 category. The table includes the same details as mentioned before.

    Please note that “previous notional winners” does not refer to the actual previous winners, as the constituency boundaries changed in 2023. For instance, although the Tories won Kensington in 2019, this victory was achieved under the old boundaries. If the boundaries had been the same as for the upcoming elections (with the constituency now called Kensington and Bayswater), Labour would have emerged as the winner instead.

    This analysis is not intended to be scientific – I’m just an elections/demographics nerd.

    I hope you find this interesting!

  2. Where is that 38% ghetto? Why is Richmond balling harder than Kensington? South Croydon is weirdly wealthy.

    FUCK OFF. This is the sort of brain-dead shit that made “Brexit” seem like a light-hearted jolly that wasn’t taken seriously.
