ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Urban–rural political divide

Okay, so sometimes people who live in cities and people who live in the countryside have different ideas about what's important and how things should be run. They might want different things from their government and have different opinions about issues like the environment or jobs or taxes. This can cause disagreements and sometimes even arguments. It's like when you and your friend want to play different games- sometimes you can work it out, but sometimes you just don't agree. This is kind of like that, but with grown-ups and politics!
