| description | Rokkan’s electoral mobilization and cleavage model of class-based politics within countries is being undermined by contemporary globalization. A new geography of planetary urbanization has developed in which the key spatial dimension is degrees of metropolitanization between cities. This is illustrated using the results of the UK referendum on EU membership. It is shown that across the UK, irrespective of the level of support to stay, the larger and more central cities within the regions and nations of the country have higher support vote percentages than their lesser city neighbours. The conclusion is that in the aftermath of the failure of ‘trickle-down economics’, there is now a similar breakdown of ‘trickle down politics’. |
