Extract

In a recent examination of size of place as a factor affecting electoral behaviour, Bealey and Dyer came to the ‘general conclusion’ that ‘the Labour vote in Britain is proportionately stronger in those constituencies which are part of large places’. Is such a relationship between size of place and Labour strength displayed in local elections?
