It might be cultural or it might be a third-world thing. It might also have to do with feeding the ignorance which many die-hard supporters have in their heads about politicians and the pedestal on which they place them.

A sizeable portion of the population looks forward to the peace and tranquility that come with living in a rural village or quiet residential development. There, they expect to be surrounded by people who share their ideals, and neighbours who are likely to be in their socio-economic class.
On the other hand, there will always be those among us who like the hustle and bustle of living in or near The City. They prefer the shorter commute in order to access most of the goods and services required. Then, there are people who just enjoy living near to where the action can be found.
