Riassunto analitico
The working class’s turn towards the right has been one of the most discussed political phenomena in recent decades. The explanation of this political realignment often adopts a view of the working class as a coherent electoral constituency. Using data from the British Election Study on the 2017 and 2019 elections in the United Kingdom, in this article we show instead that the working-class is divided into different fractions with different electoral preferences. Working-class support for the Conservative party is stronger among production workers, while service workers’ support is significantly less solid. Workers are more likely to vote for the Conservatives if they are homeowners and/or living in rural areas and older in age. These findings point to the continuing importance of structural factors in explaining working-class voting and for a renewed understanding of the internal differences in working-class electoral realignment to the right.
