Yeah, this is going to be a thing. Maybe I'll create an archive thread for these and get the mods to sticky it.

Anyway, my problem doesn't really appear to be what the parties advocate for, but who they appeal to. I'll give y'all a quick rundown of what I think is the case and you can go from there.

Conservatives: I think they appeal towards the wealthy and former aristocrats. I'm also pretty sure that they appeal to farmers and those that are just getting into the middle class. I think in British politics they're called "Mondeo Men".

Labor: Originally, I think they were popular among the working class, but has slowly begin shifting towards the youth and cosmopolitan sorts.

Lib Dems: I've heard that the Lib Dems used to appeal towards the youth, but that's it. I think my problem here is that there is no Lib Dem equivalent here in the states.

UKIP: Old People. I've heard that they are starting to make gains in the northern working class with the absence of Labor there, but I don't know.
