That's right, it's town vs country. Election maps that drill into districts will show you the same in any country. Basically anywhere with a sports team (they play in cities) tends to be "leftie" and everywhere else not.


Maybe for the US, not for everywhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_League_System


And the cities with the higher ranked clubs are bigger:

London, Manchester, Liverpool, all have multiple Premier league teams. Birmingham used to have a couple. Glasgow in the Scottish league has a couple.

You will find the same in all of Europe. Top teams are based in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Munich, Milan, Dortmund, Amsterdam, and so on.

Note that there are several teams whose names are suburbs rather than the main city.
