It is still the people who decide that rather than the system.
Are you really honestly surprised in 60% of the country, longstanding party affiliations withstand any honest appraisal of candidates or policies? A working class suburb is always going to be far more likely to vote on the left and the home counties far more on the right.
To change that situation would require truly amazingly charismatic or brilliant candidates.
