Spotting the pattern yet? All are dens of the Guardian / Independent-reading metropolitan left. Brighton, surprise, surprise, was close too. Note the failure of the AV campaign in areas where people make things - other than specious arguments - such as the West Midlands, the North East and Wales.
I may well come back to this, but time is tight at the moment.
And I've been playing with the figures, and Hackney emerges as the most out of touch - 60.7% for AV. I was rather hoping it would be Islington, but Stoke Newington will do.
Can't argue with that! But they'll try, oh, how they'll try...
