I think that’s one of the big reasons conservatives hate college. When young people interact with people of different socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, etc, they realize that those people aren’t the two dimensional boogeymen that they’ve been made out to be. They begin to realize that blind hatred is the problem, not diversity.
It’s simply a correlation with population density. More rural areas tend to vote more conservative.

Not it isn’t. If it was london would be black and you’d see black dots for Ediburgh and Glasgow
The plot is an inverse of population density: rural areas have more exposure to cows, cities do not.
Still isn’t, otherwise the whole of scotland would be black since thats by far the most rural bit of the UK.
Given the clear line at the Scottish border I would say that data is missing for Scotland
I don’t think so, Ireland is completely missing and NI is grey, like Scotland is
The grey is labeled BSE-free areas, though there’s enough jpeg in there to squint and make it say whatever.
This has always read to me as “when you’re around a bunch of different people you realize how the same we are”
Eidunno. Curious what others think of that. It is very true, the rural and the conservatism.

People are mindless idiots.
Cow farmers are sheep.
Scotland is mostly rural, is it not?
