What are working-class voters?

Working-class voters are people who usually have jobs and want things to be fair for everyone.

Imagine you're playing a game with your friends in the park. You all take turns being the person who gets to choose what game to play. But sometimes, one friend always picks the game that’s easiest for them, like tag instead of hide-and-seek if they’re really fast. That friend is like a voter who has a lot of power.

Now imagine you and your friends all have chores at home, like feeding the dog or cleaning up after dinner. If you don’t get to pick what game to play, it might be because you do more chores than others. You’re like working-class voters, people who work hard, maybe in a factory, a restaurant, or delivering food, and they want things to be fair so everyone can have a good life.

Sometimes, working-class voters team up with other friends (or voters) to make sure the rules of the game are fair for everyone. That’s how they help shape what happens next in the big game called elections.
