I understand why noting a connection between educational attainment and voting remain is controversial... (1/)
-
-
Yes. I added that. But still, an educational effect remains even controlling for that.
-
Aren't we getting correlation & causation mixed up too - we are talking averages across v diverse groups - doesn't explain anything per se
-
Well, those are slightly different points.
-
Sorry yes - should said "and" ; frustrating to see idea that it was "uneducated" that won Brexit - all large groups defy characterisation
-
I wouldn’t go quite that far. But I agree with your first point.

Whether or not there’s a link, it’s routinely the case that whenever we cross swords with Brexit voters (as opposed to some Brexiteers) we quickly become aware of astonishing (and dangerous) levels of ignorance about the EU, history, trade, economics and politics.
-
And before I get Tweeted to death, ignorance doesn’t imply stupidity.
-
No, but I come across similar in many Remain voters. And you're assuming most voters have a clue what most party manifestos say in elections
-
I recall some evidence from the ref showing very high levels of EU-related ignorance on both sides.
-
From memory, Leave voters slightly worse than Remain - but not by much.

Clutching at straws there, but we can settle this Julia: how did you vote?

Also many young people wouldn't have known about the original concept of the 'Common Market' in the first place.

It ignored the better education those people had HNC, ONC, & other City & Guilds technical qualifications coupled with a 5 year apprenticeship. Worth a lot more than todays mickey mouse degrees. People at 21 were a lot more able than those with degrees now coming out of uni 23-25
