Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    so you agree then, what was the point in all these posts...

    1) As I said, rural people can be progressive and urban people conservative
    2) A lack of conservative views doesn't seem to affect other parties' rural votes

    Anecdotally only; I don't have figures.

    Most people I know who are rural are not necessarily more conservative than the urban people I know.

    But I'm wary of anecdotal and personal-experience evidence, because I've been challenged on here for saying that I know no-one who would dream of voting FF or support NAMA or the Anglo bailout, because extrapolating that to a wider sample is too much to hope for.

    They also don't - unfortunately - affect voting patterns.
