Quiet Revolution

Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland today. It'll be a brief one this one. A straight up solid victory for the Tories. Nothing much else to say.

The only real noticeable thing about the information is the superior social media gains of the Labour candidate. In spite of the fact that they performed badly and saw their vote share slashed further. This has been a general trend in all the seats I've looked at and seems to suggest that Labour (and Labour supporters) are simply more active in general on social media than the Conservatives. At least in this region of the country anyway. Tory voters really do seem to be a silent majority in every sense.

Of course, it's also no doubt age related too. With older voters tending to be more right-leaning and less active online.
