I love this article. It aims to show the political spectrum through a detailed study of a microcosm. While certain issues might be very specific to this constituency, through the piece it details the wider picture such as the battle between the hard left and the hard right for the same voters, and the issues they hold in common. I love it. I wonder how true this is of other countries or whether it is specific to the UK. Greece has had a similar situation with Golden Dawn and Syriza, although to a much larger scale as it is unlikely that UKIP or a socialist alliance/Greens could ever take power given the first past the post system.
