This isn't their data, they got it from local authorities.

Thanks Nick and Damien for your contributions to this debate. The report covers the demographics of the areas at a more local level than previously; this is its value.
I genuinely believe the fuller article is well worth a read and in absolutely no way is it a left-wing conspiracy to explain away people's voting intentions.
Whilst it does not re-tread the reasons for people's voting intentions, it does draw on these to explain hyper-local voting patterns that go against local patterns. For example, despite all of Scotland's 32 counting areas coming down on the Remain side "A cluster of six wards in the Banff and Buchan area in north Aberdeenshire had a strong Leave majority of 61%. There is much local discontent within the fishing industry of this coastal district about the EU's common fisheries policy."
