Inner city.

Absolutely not. Quite the opposite in fact. They need to mobilise the ABC1 voters, and turn them into their unwitting spokespersons.

And they won’t do that by bleating on about kemm tajnikom gid taht it-tinda.

They could also do it by encouraging birth control and emigration. But’s that’s a hot potato and my oven gloves are in the wash.

Traditions die hard.

It’s not the “South” but the Inner Harbour Region.

One fact of the matter is that people in the South (DE) are having more children than AB socioeconomic group members: careers and delayed motherhood and consequent infertility are main culprits.

If a woman does not work and has no career she does not need to wait to have children if she has a mate.

Educated and career women have to consolidate themselves and their careers before having children and this inevitably leads to less births in this group.

This is not the only reason for young people following Labour but it needs to be studied.

“Many of what I call the ‘Super One crowd’ and ‘Nouveau Labour’ are *not* technically in socio-economic group A because of their recently obtained education and their jobs/business interests/careers. But they remain instrinsically working-class – even under-class in some cases – in attitude and values.”

Yet the usual naysayers still managed to write negative comments just because it is your column. I find it bizarre how they still read you when they reject everything you write just because it is you to write it.
