I was brought up 'working class' in the UK, but my family always supported the Conservatives. As a result I also tend towards right wing views. I read the Daily Mail & despise the Guardian! I have always thought that I would sooner be ruled by those from a more privelidged background than by those who were brought up in poorer areas. I know that these days a lot of folks in the Labour party are lawyers & the like, but a lot are also ex union trouble makers who seem to have forgotten all about their roots & are now on the gravy train of Parliament.
