Election results: Brexit, jobs and education: Five charts which reveal how people voted – Sky News

Brexit may have happened - but it continues to redraw the electoral map of England.

It's not the only thing however, that appears to be behind changing voting patterns.

With votes still being counted, this is what the data is telling us about why people voted.

In wards that voted heavily to leave the EU in 2016, the Conservatives are making large gains and Labour are experiencing losses.

Just like in December 2019, Labour is seeing particularly large falls in its vote in areas that voted by over 60% for Brexit.

How to read the above chart?

Dots clustered on the left are wards with the smallest proportion of Leave voters. Here, Labour's vote has risen. On the right, however, are dots revealing wards where Labour's vote has fallen sharply. These wards also contain high numbers of people who voted to leave the EU.

There have been large regional differences in voting patterns. The Conservatives have increased vote share in West Midlands and Yorkshire & The Humber. Labour has done better in the South East.

These ward results also reveal a deep polarisation by education in the electorate. The Conservatives have advanced most in areas with fewer graduates.

The Conservatives have also done well in wards with more people employed in routine occupations.
