I was particularly interested in this part

"They are embarrassed at voting Tory, sufficiently so to deny their intent to friends, families and pollsters."

because I've always believed there are a lot of people who do this - I've never understood why though.
This has always been the case, same in Spain. Empathy being the core human trait that you are born with (according to research). A vote for right wing parties is seen as apathy towards those that can't help themselves (however the situation or who's to blame), ergo they are embarrassed that they feel this way.

Apathy you learn, not empathy...human nature.

Obviously broad generalisation with exceptions
