The education level part is probably skewed by older voters not going to uni in the same percentages as the young.

What dire financial straits are these MPs that lost their seats in?
How is Theresa Palpatine going to help them out? With her dough?
it's ok they can always pop down to their local foodbank! When Amber Rudd said on the live BBC debate she had been to a local food bank when Corbs asked her. How do you price up whether she has or she hasn't? I would be a big fav she has never been anywhere near a food bank in her life. |

Correct and has been pointed out on here many times before many people shift from left to right as they get older start to earn a few quid and realise the value of money and the importance of not pissing it away on a utopia..... |

Degree or above was incredibly strong towards Labour don't you think? Does this include students who are currently studying for a degree? If so might explain it. |

Looking at the age split as well isn't it simply reflecting that those under 40 are more likely to have tinpot degrees after participation went through the roof from the late 90s onwards? |

Guess it depends on what is the definition of a tinpot degree. If its a degree that doesn't lead to some job specifically then there is a lot of degrees that are tin pot. If it's a degree subject that's supposed to be easy then a lot of it depends on where you do it. At the top universities no degree is really easy (some easier than others granted), but it's quite different at a lot of the newer ones. I had friends who did almost same degree as me (economics + politics  ) and it was a bit of joke to compare what they did with what was required of us. As someone that is quite pro university (tuition fees were introduced the year I started fwiw) I do think higher education got expanded too widely and too quickly and would like to see some funding/resources go towards those who either are not capable or inclined to go down the university route. It's not for everyone and I don't want a US style system where everyone has a degree and its value is massively diminished (could argue this has happened already). |

It probably is, they probably did useless degrees that required you to be able to interpret graphs or something. Just as likely that tory bias kicks in at 50 because they are an age group with more limited social media usage and still watch news/read newspapers like its 1984..... |

Theresa May is a just horrible though, and she's miles out of her depth as a politician.
Even the loyalist tories on her gotta admit she got a pretty serious schooling during the last 6 weeks.

Very true. She's been awful. Tories desperate for a leader that is a communicator who understands real people. Some charisma would be helpful too. |
