Quote:
Right-wingers tend to be less intelligent than left-wingers, and people with low childhood intelligence tend to grow up to have racist and anti-gay views, says a controversial new study.

Conservative politics work almost as a 'gateway' into prejudice against others, say the Canadian academics.

The paper analysed large UK studies which compared childhood intelligence with political views in adulthood across more than 15,000 people.

The British Cohort Study involved 3,412 men and 3,658 women born in 1970.

It's the first time the data from these studies has been used in this way.


My other half is in that. She gets interviewed every so often. I did once too.

Argh so conflicted. On the one hand, I kind of agree with some of the points that article makes.
On the other, I tend to use the Daily Mail as a moral compass in that whatever it's stance is, the opposite is usually the right one.

In such instances I find the 'monkeys with typewriters' argument quite handy.
