On a related point, does anyone have a more up to date map on broadband take up than this : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4483065.stm which would highlight any trends shown in the other two maps?
I've volunteered with youngsters in Glasgow North in the past and I have seen a massive disaffection with the political process there because the children and the other volunteers felt completely disconnected from politics and couldn't understand how voting could make a difference. I don't know if the electoral commission have done anything on this disaffection, but I can easily understand an attitude like that, prevailing in an area, would dampen enthusiasm for any political engagement.

I was just looking at the map on the left showing where these constituencies are: http://www.democracyclub.org.uk/statistics/ It struck me that it bears a striking resemblance to maps of high unemployment, low income, child poverty e.g. http://www.poverty.org.uk/02/index.shtml#g3 I don't really have a particular point; I suppose the question is, Is there a meaningful correlation, and if there is, how can we best access activists in low-income areas?
