I think that’s one of the big reasons conservatives hate college. When young people interact with people of different socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, etc, they realize that those people aren’t the two dimensional boogeymen that they’ve been made out to be. They begin to realize that blind hatred is the problem, not diversity.
nah unfortunately not from the looks of things, there’s some places which definitely had mad cow disease that aren’t coloured, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual map is still very correlated
Please tell me it is real…
It’s simply a correlation with population density. More rural areas tend to vote more conservative.

Not it isn’t. If it was london would be black and you’d see black dots for Ediburgh and Glasgow
The plot is an inverse of population density: rural areas have more exposure to cows, cities do not.
Still isn’t, otherwise the whole of scotland would be black since thats by far the most rural bit of the UK.
Given the clear line at the Scottish border I would say that data is missing for Scotland
I don’t think so, Ireland is completely missing and NI is grey, like Scotland is
The grey is labeled BSE-free areas, though there’s enough jpeg in there to squint and make it say whatever.
This has always read to me as “when you’re around a bunch of different people you realize how the same we are”
Eidunno. Curious what others think of that. It is very true, the rural and the conservatism.

Scotland is mostly rural, is it not?
People are mindless idiots.
Cow farmers are sheep.
Then who raises the sheep?
It is not real. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mad-cow-versus-brexit/
Even if it wasn’t a population density correlation, there are lots of totally unrelated correlations.
Someone made a fun website with them!

Hold on now, this one might not be so spurious…
That site lost me when they started stuffing utterly unecessary AI generated art in there. Honestly, what the utter fuck.
the site is really cool, im jus rlli confused bout why they put generated images.-.- like - after each element -.-,.,.
thank u for sharin tho!
