WHAT DOES MIDDLE ENGLAND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Middle England

The phrase "Middle England" is a socio-political term which generally refers to middle class or lower-middle class English people who hold traditional or right-wing views. The primary meaning of the term is now a political or sociological one. It principally indicates the middle classes or lower-middle classes of non-urban England, but also carries connotations of "Deep England". The BBC described the Kent town of Tunbridge Wells as the "spiritual home" of Middle England. The term is used by journalists to refer to the presumed views of mainstream English people, as opposed to minorities of all types. In particular, it is increasingly used to denote the more right-wing views of those who are not in such minorities. Readers of The Daily Mail, for example, are often characterised as being from Middle England, as are members of the Countryside Alliance. Residents of Middle England are also sometimes referred to as the "silent majority" or "moral majority" in the British media.
