Correlation is not causation.
i.e., It's pretty well known that older people are more likely to vote Tory than young people.
Older people are less likely to have been to University than young people.
It is therefore likely that a greater proportion of people without degrees are more likely to be satisfied by Johnson's performance, as they are more likely to be Tory voters
Hahaha ... by my reckoning that - if true (and I can't find the stats) accounts for about a tenth of that effect... good effort tho.
It's because uneducated people like the trappings of English identity politics. And they like railing against the percieved elite. It was their turn to feel important. Bannon and others showed how to harness this, and here we are.
Anyone Level 3 or over, however, has likely read Orwell, remembers their C20 history lessons, or has heard of the Stanford Prison Experiment - amongst other notable sociological and psychological work - and may recognise the effects described when they rear their heads.
Bury your head in the sand as much as you like - that's what got him elected, and that's why the majority appears totally unassailable.
Now he has to finesse the next bit of COVID - this part of the electorate is fuming* that doctors and nannies are still 'telling them what to do'.
As they usually are in summer after hot days and a few bevvies - life on my HA block is really very predictable in June and July, the question is just how many sunburnt loud white pricks will provoke others to call the police or be thrown out by their other half for repeatedly losing their shit over absolutely nothing at all. One a year goes in big style.
This year's prize prick was throughtful enough to redevelop the garden, put up a gazebo and an inflatable hot-tub in readiness to enjoy the heatwave in style. Two weeks later, and against a backdrop of increasingly threatening and petulant outbursts aimed at wife and friends later, his daughter locked him out the back door for everyone to see, last thing at night... bye bye now!
