Three Old Friends

Yesterday three old friends voted for three different political parties.

The three old friends are all the same age. The first is a publisher, the second is a columnist and the third is a blogger. All of them are, or have been, writers.

The columnist was once a teacher, too.

Recently he wrote (in one of the magazines owned by the publisher):

“Two nations. The divide is worse than ever. Class is still destiny. Poverty is often fate…We don’t need workhouses. We need small classes.”

All three are certainly in favour of small classes, whichever way they may have voted.

Guess which party each of the three old friends supported.

I am not surprised about the outcome of the election.
