The new snobbery : taking on modern elitism and empowering the working class
Skelton, David (Head of research)2023
Books
The Brexit referendum marked the first time in generations that the working class flexed its political muscle and helped to change the direction of the country - against the almost universal advice of the ruling political, business and cultural classes. Three years later, the same voters proved to be pivotal in the result of the 2019 general election, with the so-called 'Red Wall' crumbling. But just as they seem to be important again, a new and insidious snobbery has taken root in society, which is aimed squarely at working-class voters. In part, this is a reaction to the power of these new voters and in part it is the result of cultural and economic changes over recent decades. This rousing polemic explores the roots and the reality of this new snobbery.
