@danihpayne: Right leaning people are having kids and becoming parents, and the left… well, they just aren’t. Really interesting new data from the @FinancialTimes showing that the decline in birth rate in many developed countries (inc the UK) is almost entirely down to those on the left having less kids. And as a result, society is slowing shifting towards greater conservatism… what could this mean for politics, and what could be done about it? #ukpolitics #parentsoftiktok #academia #inequality #womensrights
This does tend to ignore the fact that children don't just blindly obey or follow their parents. Many kids of incredibly religious parents end up rejecting religion

disagree: conservatives (especially strict ones) are very good at making progressive kids

The left being in a death cult, who would have thought it.
Interesting because the prevailing idea a few years ago, was that demographics would wipe out conservatism.

Also people who care about climate change have fewer children because it’s bad for the climate. The result is a population takeover by the rest

Except for the fact that young people often reject their parents values in adulthood. I was raised very conservative. I’m a communist now.

I can't imagine a faster track to becoming progressive other than growing up in a conservative household. Kids usually rebel against their parents.

the only reason we are going to have a right wing leaning future is because the right wing are currently cutting education funding and banning books. you don't follow your parents political leanings when you have access to proper education.

Honestly I do wonder as well how many people actually just don’t want children. A generation or two ago it was kinda socially unacceptable not to. I imagine that’s still the case in more conservative families.

Just because you're raised conservative / right-wing does not mean you'll stay that way into adulthood.

we would be having more children if the system wasn’t broken… when we fix the system we will see a change in the trend

As a left wing parent I’ve definitely thought of this. I’m late 30s and I’d say half my friends my age aren’t having kids

the main reason is left wing people are too busy getting an education and getting professional jobs. small c conservatives (esp. reform voters) left school and started popping out kids with no concern on how to *actually* raise them properly.
the intro to idiocracy was very prescient...

Or, hear me out, the left focuses on educating right wing people's children instead of making more humans. you can spread culture/education without procreating!
