Constituency profile[edit]
Electoral Calculus categorises the proposed seat as being part of the “Kind Young Capitalists” demographic, those who have fiscally conservative views on the economy but are otherwise socially liberal and mildly internationalist in their outlook. A notional result of 46% for support for Brexit is given alongside a figure of 41% for deprivation, which is considerably lower than the national average of 52%, according to the site. For general statistics, the average age is 52.7, at least 90% of the local population owns a car, whilst 74% own a home, and the gross household income is £56,606.[10]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
