smart people get paid better, buy into consumerism, get greedy and don't want to pay tax. They look at the people around them with distain because they have all the baubles and still are not satisfied. People who can get by with a little, look at the smart people and say look at that AHole with the merc, not happy with his lot, he wants more and more. Tearing up the planet for it. One day the tax man will grab him for not paying his taxes. Then he'll be with us at the bus stop asking how to microwave food? because he's used to restaurants.
just an observation. |

Why are rich people the least willing to pay taxes?
Some of them will never be able to spend their wealth, yet still try to avoid paying full tax. |

A better question is who is cleverer enough to run the country under the capitalist system and benefit everyone not just a few
and how can you maintain fairness.It's alright blaming voters for being thick but the country should always come first and it's impossible for a bin man with one O' Level to understand the complexity of world trade or Bureaucracy... |

Probably not true as the majority of university students vote labour.
But as they grow older gain more life experience ,have a mortgage around their neck ,mouths to feed reality bites. The exception to the rule is tasmina Ahmed sheik rattle and roll, who was a conservative at 16 switched to labour in her twenties and then became a member of the monster raving snp. But this may just be due to political expediency. |

The old chestnut you vote for the status quo so why did oldr voters vote out of the E.U.
probably to laugh at the young and think at least when I'm dead I can get my own back on all these young whippersnappers  |

The EU was idealistic initially - avoid WW3. Then the educated middle-classes took it over and turned it into a corrupt, self-serving, self-enriching (think the Kinnock family) bureaucratic monster of destruction. I like to think the older generation recognized this - if only subconsciously for many.
Your subconscious is your friend. Sometimes. |

It's like California leaving the United States of America who would laugh?, who would cry?, who would move in and swallow them?

Slightly distant sides of the same argument - both equally applicable. I'm idly cobbling the scientific, historical, social and economic arguments together to hand over to a more sober group. A violent, fascist/extremist outcome isn't inevitable. Though it is the favourite.
Did you watch/like Taboo tonight? |

Well said annie. Ironic that the countries we saved in WW2 are now threatening us with harm, led by the country we saved em from.

To answer the opening question.
No, it isn't. Not in my experience. However, I HAVE noticed that people who think they're clever, but most definitely are not, tend to vote conservative. |

I can only speak for me, IQ been measured at 148 & 150 in Mensa tests so smug git, voted Labour in my youthand Conservative in my adultery ! Living proof (just) that Churchill was right about voting with your heart when youare young and with your head when you get older.

Must be something in SVs remarks as intelligent people are always willing to debate whilst the left resort to insults/violence to make their point.

Some rubbish being spoken on here surely it's the right who are trying to shut down debate.
That is plain to see with the "I won you lost get over it" rhetoric to dismiss millions who voted Brexit or Hilary.. |

To be fair it was a question not a statement of fact ,as voting forms don't ask what your I.Q. is.

Reading a biography of Shaftesbury (Con).
Representatives of 200 charities attended his funeral. 1000 members of the public turned out. What a man. What a legacy. A legacy we still benefit from. No idea about his IQ though.. |
