That election showed politics is no longer about Left v Right. It highlighted a stark message for Leave voters backing both major old parties. VOTE LABOUR VOTE CONSERVATIVE GET CORBYN GET REMAIN Peterborough is yet another Leave-voting Labour seat represented by a Remainer MP. This divide Labour held Peterborough with 31 per cent of reflects how Labour has increasingly become a party the vote (down 17 per cent), narrowly ahead of the of the metropolitan middle classes and abandoned Brexit Party on 30 per cent – a majority of just 683. its traditional working-class supporters.
