A debate on Newsnight this evening on whether the Conservative Party can retain support in working class segments of the electorate.

It was an interesting discussion, and certainly the Conservative Party needs to recruit more members.

However there are three flaws in Owen Jones's argument:

Working class people do not tend to vote according to class interests - other factors are often more important.

Genuinely disadvantaged groups do not tend to vote.

In a two-party system if you do not want to vote Labour the only alternative is the Conservatives (the Liberal Democrats are now seen as Tory-lite).
