Social Sciences - Government / Politics | | English term or phrase: white van | Bonjour,
je traduis un texte sur des élections législatives dans la banlieue de Londres, opposant principalement le parti travailliste au parti nationaliste. Pour connaître la démographie dans chaque circonscription (il s'agit d'une banlieue où il y a beaucoup d'immigrés), le parti travailliste a fait une étude par ordinateur surnommé "white van". Connaissez-vous ce terme et sauriez-vous comment le traduire ?
"This is a ward by ward analysis, it's what they call "white van"." |

Reference information:
(Ford transit), petit entrepreneur, artisan ... au départ
Basildon is the home of the mythical "Essex man" or "white van man" – a term coined by political commentators to describe a particular variety of aspirational, white, skilled, working class, council-house-dwelling tabloid reader who was won over by Margaret Thatcher's promise of social mobility in 1979 but who deserted the Tories in favour of New Labour in 1997. Since the party's re-election in 2001 he has shifted away from Labour because he feels that his key concerns – unemployment, social housing, immigration – are not being addressed.
