I've lived in Surrey for the past 8 years and it's every bit the reactionary Conservative hellhole its reputation makes it out to be.
That said, I'm not sure its any more notable than any other suburban/rural transition zone, whether in England or in any other country. All the hallmarks of Surrey's conservative/reactionary streak - blithe indifference and petty sadism toward minority groups, obsequious deference to authority and rectitude, bigoted incurosity toward new ideas/people/trends, greed masquerading as moral superiority - are clearly detectable elsewhere. The Cotswolds and the West Country in particular come to mind, as does the prairie-like belt stretching from Suffolk to the Fens.
