UK election head scratcher. [View all]

I am aware that there are traditional Labour areas that voted leave in the EU referendum, and had a decent UKIP share of the vote the last general election.


It seems in these Labour areas the party is getting a large share of the old UKIP vote. This seems pretty odd given the differences on policy


Any explanation?
