This had the potential to be an interesting thread, and you guys turned it into an abortion.
As for the voting, I think an issue that wasn't discussed is how much the economic policies came into effect for those voters. I think a lot of people vote based on the social policies and agendas rather than straight economics. That could easily explain a lot of those middle class voters who vote for one party even if their economic situation could theoretically be improved by the other.
