Episode notes
Green Surge Driven By Cultural Leftism
- The Green surge stems more from a culturally left young generation than purely housing or economic grievances.
- Kaufmann's poll shows 60% of young Green supporters back trans women in women's sports, a key cultural divider driving Green support.
Cultural Socialism Differentiates Young Greens
- Young Greens combine economic leftism with strong identitarian cultural leftism on race, gender and identity.
- Older Labour voters stay left economically but are less extreme on cultural issues, explaining party splits by age.
Why Young Women Lean Much More Left
- There's a pronounced youth gender gap with young women far more left-leaning than young men, unlike older cohorts.
- Kaufmann links this to feminine-oriented socialization emphasizing harm protection and emotional safety in youth culture.
