Lovely, an' all.

So if that had anything at all to do with supporting unions, how come in
2005 only 35% voted Labour, in 2010 29%, and this year 30%?

Presumably because those that bothered to vote decided that
Labour had no policies that were of any use to the working
class or because they decided that it was Labour that was
stupid enough to deregulate the banks and then had to
bail the worst of them out.

So how big do you think the majority was,in the 50's,60's,and 70's ?

I neither know nor care.

"Working class" might have actually _meant_ something in the '50s, but
even by that stage it was an anachronism. By the '60s it was becoming
increasingly irrelevant, and by the '70s it was almost entirely ********.

No it isn't. Those who do the most menial work are clearly the working
class.
