It was mainly the educated/qualified who voted remain ? Poll please

[concertplayer]

While watching this morning's Eu debates an argument was put forward
that it was mainly the educated/qualified in the large cities like London
Edinburgh and Brighton voting to remain as they were the most mobile/
more likely to be moving to Europe for jobs etc
This is not necessarily this poster's view but it does seem these places
have more "knowledge "jobs than the provinces So I would like these
degree holding Mmnetters to disclose whether there is any truth in this?

Judging by my Facebook page most of my friends voted remain - and they have degrees/professional type jobs, educated etc
The few on my page that voted leave seem to the ones who left school at 16/ work in call centres/factories etc

I know it's a generalisation but my small sample of a few hundred people seems to follow that trend!

We are in Wales, in fact one of the only places in Wales to vote remain!

My friends are generally educated to just gcse level and have been born into fairly white areas with lots of family money behind them - they all voted leave.

My work friends are all graduates (teachers) and although i dont know their socioeconomic backgrounds they all voted remain..

So was the case for me (obviously sample size means shit all)

Degree and Masters. Voted remain.

Degree educated & voted remain & campaigned also, for "in"

I don't like this thread though. Very judgey & sneery

Again a ridiculous thread, when the upshot is that mumsnet appears to be in the remain camp anyway.
I genuinely believe it is down to geography as much as anything and exposure to the issues faced by being in the eu.

I have a degree and I voted out. I'm a home owner with income of £26k. Maybe it's more the higher earners voted remain.

Social media and pseudo-intellectualism did not nothing to help leave campaigners.

Having not even discussed my voting preferences at all I was accused of being a racist earlier this week ....simply because I have the English Rugby Union rose tattoed about my person, and refused to state what my vote would be to someone I didn't know

Senior engineer oil & gas

Degree

Voted leave

Scotland

Voted remain. Degree holder. I thought we would remain for sure

Well I have a degree and voted leave.

Sorry to disprove your theory that we're all mindless drooling idiots who can't hold a job down.

Bonkerz, i know alot of the wealthy who voted out. I know alot of scientists and professors who voted out.

I'd class my house hold as well off, income is over 6 figures

Both me and husband voted out.

degree and postgrad:

Remain.

XH with nothing above O Levels: Remain.

Degree, postgraduate qualification, working on second degree. Voted out

So the only people worthy of having an opinion are those with degrees? Or you have to be stupid to vote out?

What a load of fucking bollocks

Degree and further professional qualifications, comfortably off household but by no means wealthy, I voted out and H didn't vote thanks to a DIY disaster that needed fixing.

Degree/professional qualification- Remain
DH highly educated (degree, postgrad,professional qualification) and very informed on economics, voted leave and so did several of his uni friends. Nothing to do with migration issues.
I am holding onto the fact that he is usually pretty wise and sensible as I try and control my sick and panicky feelings this morning.

So only thickos voted to leave?
I have no degree and pretty much messed up my gcse's many years ago, have worked since I was 17.
I voted remain.

Postgraduate here. Remain.

Only my dh voted to leave the rest of the voters (3) were remain and 1 of those people have a degree so it doesnt really average out

Me - Degree - remain
DP - degree - remain
Ex H - degree & PhD - remain

If my FB feed was representative if the UK the country would have voted 100% for remain.

I live in Oxford, walking to the polling station we passed several remain posters in our neighbours houses, but not one leave.

The result was 70% remain, 30% leave.

Obviously there are parts of the city that will have had a higher number of leave voters, but in some parts it will have been almost all remain.

Leave. MSc. Mixed heritage. I've never thought of myself as better than anyone else and really believe level of education as a voting factor is patronising and specious. A nation deserves autonomy from other states if it is the will of the majority. IMO remainers are going to have to find some more robust reasons for 'the sky having fallen in'.

Anyone notice how quiet Theresa May has been in the last few weeks? Those who have seen the film Salting the Battlefield might be wondering if she had been affected with toothache.

My town/district has an above-national-average percentage of degree holders (sorry, I can't remember the exact statistics). We voted 55% out.

Thinking you can do a poll on "MN users who are online at this point and choose to click on your thread" doesn't make you seem very educated, TBH.
