'Clearly, however, all socially conservative people are not prejudiced, and all prejudiced persons are not conservative.'

No, no, you can't "disagree." It's a scientific study.

It seems to me that many of the major issues in British politics today are less a question of right and left and more a question of right and wrong. The traditional left-right dichotomy is almost like a conceptual prison which undermines the principles on which representative democracy is based. This dichotomy is historically contingent because it originates with the French National Assembly of the late eighteenth century and is not an accurate way of mapping political divergence in 21st century Britain. Labour today cannot possibly be left as they have implicity accepted the neoliberal economics inaugurated in this country by Thatcherism. This ideology itself is incompatible with social conservatism as following it to its logical conclusion would lead to the abolition of border controls in the interests of a 'free' labour market. There is no real difference between the two parties today on substantial issues... it has more to do with style, rhetoric, personality, PR and party funding.

People will make what they will of studies like this, won't they? They're usually couched in inconclusive language (like this one). Left to Right in politics isn't a continuum, more like an incomplete circle. In one way, the extremists are as far from each other as they could be; while at the same time they've got more in common with each other than anyone else. Far Left / Far Right; almost nowt between them. Just like the religious bods, they think they've got all the answers and know better than anybody else.

Don't expect any of his opinions to make any actual sense! ;D So basically, when I said in the '26k benefits cap' thread that some people just like to look down on others, I should have said less intelligent people looking down on others makes them feel safe and they are often right-wingers, according to the Daily Mail ;D That certainly chimes with a lot of views on this forum. "The study, published in Psychological Science, claims that right-wing ideology forms a 'pathway' for people with low reasoning ability to become prejudiced against groups such as other races and gay people". You don't say!

If Ronnie Reagan was part of the survey, or Dan Quayle for that matter, the result is unsurprising

On the eeb you can have opinions coming out of your ears and be blue in the face but, it will get you absolutely nowhere. I just sit back with a glass of red and a bag of maltesers and watch the experts It may get you nowhere with those folk who are reluctant to consider anything which threatens the world view which makes them feel safe - which is understandable if a little sad. But I don't think that's a good enough reason to stop presenting evidence to them. You can already see on here how some people's views have shifted, notably a few of the right-wingers have softened their stances on the welfare state for example. Although not at the time of the initial discussion, obviously .

If there was/is any shift in peoples views on politics, i doubt it is down to left or right wing football fans verbal rantings on here. It's probably more to do with how recent Politics has affected them in a personal way. But, please do carry on, i enjoy ping pong that no one ever wins ;D
