Mostly right Lods.
There was geographical data that showed the further away from the capital cities you got, the more votes the NO side got.
Thats a pretty clear example of intellectual lines.
Sure, its not that cut and dry, but the data shows it.
From my own experiences it rings true as well.
On my 4000km road trip from Melbourne to Brisbane (via sydney) and back you were exposed to all kinds of different people.
For the large part, in cities you would see "Yes" signage. Either the old board in the front yard, or a flyer on a shop window, all pointed to yes.
THen you get out into the countryside, you see graffitied bridges with "Vote No" everywhere. Some bed sheets tied up to a fence saying similar. Opposite messages, and a little more crudely written than the bigger cities.
Back to the next major city and the cycle repeats.
Thats not painting everyone with the same brush, and i never made this statement to begin with, but i do believe it to be true.
