And what is the actual reason then if my suggestion is so far fetched ?
PS - and don't EVER say its what I want to believe because it is not what I want to believe at all. Racism, Islamophobia etc are not something I think should exist let alone want to be the reason”

I'm not saying that wouldn't play a part but I think it would be very small, I think regionalism particularly with the top 2 will play a huge part. I would love to know what percentage of Scots voted Murray, and what percentage of Yorkshire voted for Brownlee. Mo is a Londoner, and let's face it there isn't much community feeling in a city like that unlike the regions the top two are in.
