Confirmation of long held suspicions...

My own family experience and long held suspicions about voting patterns have been confirmed (well supported at least) by the "British Houselhold Panel Survey". The results of tracking about 10,000 adults over 15 years have shown that the presence of daughters within a family correlates positively with tendencies to vote for the more Left wing parties (and vice-versa for sons).

They hypothesize that women are "intrinsically more leftwing than men" because "they value health, education and creches and rarely get paid so much that they worry about top tax rates". Yes, yes, yes. Now where do we sign up to run the world?
