How does social class affect voting behaviour?

A lesson that looks in depth at the impact of social class on voting behaviour.

The PowerPoint presentation covers the following areas:

• A definition of key terms on voting behaviour (not comprehensive, however a good start for the unit)
• A comprehensive definition of what is meant by ‘class’
• An evaluation of the extent to which class affects voting behaviour
• A short consideration of the context that has affected the impact of class on voting behaviour more recently

Alongside the presentation, there is a PDF of an analysis of the BBC Great British Class Survey from 2013, to add complexity to modern considerations of class. There is also a table that details the AB, C1, C2 and DE breakdown of class as well as a mock-up source question through which students are directed (in the lesson) to identify the arguments for and against the importance of social class in voting behaviour.
