They are he third major party of the UK (what is hard to achieve in a winner-takes-all system), getting 22% of votes in last elections (roughly in the middle of their historical marks). <BR/><BR/>Greens are more at the extreme in the paralmentary spectrum but for really "extremist" parties one should look for stuff like the BNP (fascists), the DUP or maybe the Sinn Féin (though the last two are exclusive of Northern Ireland). <BR/><BR/>What this study (alone) suggests to me is that smarter people are less likely to be drawn to the major parties and more likely to make rather moderate progressive innovative choices. <BR/><BR/>Did the other study suggest any affinity between IQ and the far right? I tend to think of far right extremists as empty headed but I may be wrong.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.com
