I do not like the term "white trash" but it seems to be widely used by many US political commentators more than "blue collar" from my reading over the years. In the UK the question you raise is not just Labour Party driven (though they have been the greatest losers due to their history and historic voter base in recent years) but for me centres around that all the political parties have largely forgotten the "working class" as an audience to be understood and addressed. The UKIP and SNP successes are in not inconsiderable part due to this section of society looking to alternatives given that as the Corbyn election showed the Labour Party "mainstream" had little to offer. |
