Yes there is some co-relation between from where we get comparatively more replies and university towns. The next on the list was Canterbury at 0.4% (equal fifth with Lewes). On the other hand, the response from Reading wasn’t high up on the list while Hastings isn’t a university town. Maybe it was because it’s the Mugsborough of  The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and there are some descendants of those Owen convinced to become socialists. More likely because it has a Labour council and we tend to do better in Labour areas. In Oxford we got more votes than the BNP, so we are talking about “socially liberal” places.
