The area I live in is on a complete lock when it comes to the Tory vote and this area struggles with unemployment and dependency on benefits. People here have suffered under Tory led initiatives like Universal Credit and harsh sanctions that are designed to entrap vulnerable people yet they'll forget that as soon as the Tories speak about Brexit or immigrants.
The voting public, by large, are incredibly stupid.

It's the same here. A lot of the larger nearby towns are poor and plagued with drugs and unemployment, Universal Credit has been a disaster for the area, and yet there's a strong Tory vote in the POORER areas, while the village I live in (fairly affluent) which was traditionally full of Conservative posters, is now heavily leaning to SNP. Bizarre times. Like I said though, the Tories are going to lose that working class vote eventually because its a fickle vote... And when they do, they're going to find it near impossible to regain the traditional Tory vote that they've traded away.
