The public's choice of political party is no longer significantly delineated along social-class lines.
The political divide is far more indicated by age and education.
Between the Tory party and Labour, age is the most significant factor by far.
With Education levels, the largest differential between no qualifications and a degree is seen in Lib Dem voters. The increase in voters from those with no qualfications to those with a degree is 340% for the Lib Dems, closely followed by UKIP which sees the inverse happening with over a 75% loss from the least to the most educated.
Change in party vote share between youngest to oldest voters:
UKIP 450% (4.5 x more likely to vote for from 2% to 9% of total vote share)
Tories 328% (3.28 x more likely to vote for from 21% to 69% of total vote share)
Lib Dem -42% (1.38 x less likely to vote for from 19% to 11% of total vote share)
Labour -88% (4 x less likely to vote for from 42% to 5% of total vote share)
Change party in vote share between least to most educated voters:
Lib Dem 340% (3.4 x more likely to vote for from 5% to 19% of total vote share)

Tories -32% (2.125 x less likely to vote for from 53% to 36% of total vote share)
