The LAT has an interesting piece on the UK elections, specifically on the issue of class and Conservative leader David Cameron: British Conservative candidate works to overcome his posh background.
It struck me as interesting because while we talk about class politics in the United States, we really do not have anything like the British have, given the vestiges of the aristocracy that still permeates their society. We talk about “class warfare” but that boils down to income levels, and sometimes the way we categorize certain professions (i.e., working class v. professional class) but really most Americans (including some pretty wealthy ones) consider themselves “middle class.”
