This was strengthened by the fact that people want to belong to a group which has power and influence, similarly as what they would have when supporting their local football team. PJ Pulzer a political scientist stated in 1967 that; 'class is the basis of British party politics;all else is embellishment and detail' ,PJ Pulzer, in his statement, made it clear that social class was well above the media in terms of influencing the public until the early 80s.
