    DescriptionRosalind Shorrocks, a politics lecturer at Manchester University, says the reasons many women historically voted Tory were tied to them not working.

    “Labour’s links to trade unions meant that working-class men were more likely to vote Labour — this was a pull that women didn’t have.

    “The other thing that pulled women towards the Conservatives was greater religiosity: women were more likely to identify as Christians and go to church.”
