You should be:

The National Statistics Socio-economic Classification Analytic Classes
1 Higher managerial and professional occupations
1.1 Large employers and higher managerial occupations
1.2 Higher professional occupations
2 Lower managerial and professional occupations
3 Intermediate occupations
4 Small employers and own account workers
5 Lower supervisory and technical occupations
6 Semi-routine occupations
7 Routine occupations
8 Never worked and long-term unemployed

Would it be reasonable to assume the long term aim of government is to create more groups 1, 1.1 & 1.2 within government; to work out how to tax groups 2, 3, 4 & 5 more. Groups 6 & 7 will mainly consist of immigrants who have no vote, don’t vote, or can’t read the form. Those formerly in group 6 & 7 will expand group 8.

Once groups 1, 1.1, 1.2 & 8 equals more than 50% of the voting population, you can never vote government out, or only vote for an opposition with very similar policies.
