Title: Intelligence 3 Xs More Likely To Vote Greens
Post by Greens_Win on Jun 14^th, 2013 at 2:41pm

Data from Roy Morgan Research shows which professions are most likely to vote above the norm for each of the major parties this September.

The professions most skewed toward voting Greens cover a wide range of professions, from the unsurprising Social Professionals (33%) and Environmental Scientists (30%) to Intelligence and Policy Analysts (29%), Judicial and Other Legal Professionals (28%) and Psychologists (27%). Other professions with a more than double-the-average rate of voting Greens include Medical Laboratory Scientists, Librarians, and Software and Applications Programmers.

Wow, and the list neatly corresponds to the groups in society that are a complete drain on Taxes paid by the other two groups.

Apart from a bit of touchy touchy nice feely stuff, we could happily survive without any of 'em.

No wonder history shows civilisations regularly culling themselves of this lot. Shame it would be so politically incorrect to do so today :(

Such a statistic advantage to the Greens. So many intelligent people realise that without a healthy environment and strong social values, Australia is doomed.

One that always gets me was once I watched an interview with Bob Brown at his farm in Tassie and in the background was smoke bellowing out of his chimney. I just don't understand how any modern human being can preach green politics when they drive, fly in planes and live on estates that were once pristine nature. Peter Garrett sung a song about a treaty with the aborigines and he lives on an estate in Bowral. I doubt he'll be giving that back.

Saw your post the first time. Chose to not show your error since you support the dummy side of politics.

Just because someone doesn't give primary vote, doesn't mean that they are opposed in a preferencial voting system.

The other 70% could preference Greens first after their primary vote.

I work with and train environmental professionals all the time and the Greens are largely disliked. Most professionals in this area with more than 5 years of actual practice and field work know that the greens are ideological rather than practical and mostly reject their silliness.

I believe most working stiffs don't feel represented by Greens policies. They vote for a party that will make the job more secure or their family financially more comfortable. Why would people like this vote for the Greens? The people that vote Greens are more comfortable and don't need to go after these policies. They go beyond necessity and start thinking about saving the world. The philosophy of saving the world is not an opinion shared by the battler. IQ doesn't come into it. Freeing Tibet aint going to help my childcare bills any less.

Alongside Greens have a strong position on economics.
They have also revealed through this term that they have handled power well and given great value to the supporters who gave them this power.

All power to Pauline Hanson in that small parties and people who represent extremist views gives greater richness to this democracy.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble but if it wasn't for the jail term, the inter-party deals , vote preferences scam and bad publicity you'd be way below One Nation. You are progressive but on the ground not endearing to most people. They are beyond big statement policies and into finer policies more relevant to their social standing.

* champions against business and building stuff, mining
*champions on victimhood, just like the labor party
*champions of pro drug use
*champions against religions with a fondness for christianity

The greens are a domain for far left madness and poppycock and its quite entertaining, all you have to do is read the green party online site for policies or even read a few of green wins posts and you get a good general idea why 9-10 % of the population cares to vote for them and the other 90% wouldnt bother, :D

I remember reading about the labor party in the past, it was a party for working people, you know the tradesmens, like fitters, plumbers, boilmakers, bricklayers and factory workers, it was started by these very people and it was these people it appealed too.

Now these days the labor party seems to lean on representing minorities and the inner city university educated progressives that the green party have attracted and what green wins laughingly calls inteligient 3 xs

Now the party

Dave's right.
What would you know about One Nation?
As a party it was more of a threat to the 2 major patries than any other.
Both the Dems and Greens were insignificant in comparison.
Both the majors were worried and so were the minor parties.
So they all lied and conspired to the extent that the major parties even preferrenced each other before One Nation.
The idiot parties also put One Nation last, even the Dems when in fact they had many policies in common.
After not being able to kill off One Nation completely at the ballot box, they killed it off financially through courts costs.
The Qld SEC still to this day has not returned the $520,000 it took back from One Nation due to Hanson's arrest.
The majors then targeted the Dems...
Gee I wonder what will happen if they ever see the Greens as a threat. They'll both preference each other first and it'll be bye bye Greens.
Not that I expect you guys to do too well next election anyway.

Train and Tram Drivers are over 60% more likely to vote Labor than the average voter, while Police are almost 60% more likely to vote Liberal. Intelligence and Policy Analysts are almost three times more likely than the average Aussie to vote for the Greens.
Data from Roy Morgan Research shows which professions are most likely to vote above the norm for each of the major parties this September. View the attached table for a clear view of which jobs are more likely to vote which way.
An electorate of only Train and Tram Drivers, Intelligence and Policy Analysts and Mail Sorters would give a landslide to the ALP (but the party would be left seat-less if only Defence Force personnel, Manufacturers and Financial Advisers got a ballot), while if only Primary School Teachers voted, we’d have a neck-and-neck Federal Election this September.
60% of Crane, Hoist and Lift Operators, 53% of Train and Tram Drivers and 50% of Food and Drink Factory Workers give their first preference vote to the ALP, while over 60% of Defence Force members, Chief Executives, Police, Manufacturers, and Financial Investment Advisers, Managers and Brokers vote Liberal.
Overall, jobs within the larger categories of Labourers, Machinery Operators and Drivers, Technicians and Trades Workers, and Community and Personal Service Workers are more likely than average to vote Labor, while Clerical and Administrative Workers and Managers are more likely to vote Liberal and those classified as Professionals are over 50% more likely to vote Greens.
The professions most skewed toward voting Greens cover a wide range of professions, from the unsurprising Social Professionals (33%) and Environmental Scientists (30%) to Intelligence and Policy Analysts (29%), Judicial and Other Legal Professionals (28%) and Psychologists (27%). Other professions with a more than double-the-average rate of voting Greens include Medical Laboratory Scientists, Librarians, and Software and Applications Programmers.
The professionals most likely to vote Family First are Meat, Poultry and Seafood Process Workers, Delivery Drivers, Waiters and Dental Assistants. Ministers of Religion are the 7th most likely at 7%—just behind Retail Supervisors.
Farmers of all stripes dominate the National Party’s list, although Cabinetmakers, Hotel and Motel Managers and Bus and Coach Drivers make the Top 10.
The proportion of Plasterers and Midwives voting Labor is dead-on average, as is that of Truck Drivers voting Liberal and Storepersons voting Greens.
Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan Research, says:
“It is interesting that while each of Labor’s Top 10 jobs is blue collar—consistent with the party’s traditional base—there is more variety within the Liberal and Greens lists: CEOs and Livestock Farmers are both over 50% more likely to vote Liberal than average, while Policy Analysts, Graphic Designers and Social Workers are all almost three times more likely than average to go Greens.
“Survey Interviewers are 18% more likely to... give no answer when asked for their first preference vote.”

No surprises there. The better educated one is the less likely they are to vote Conservative. It's nice to see this backs it up as fact.

how do you honestly interpret that from that chart? the people with the lowliest and most uneducated professions evidently vote labor.

defense force members - not sure what th eminimum requirement is for just a regular rank and file aus army member but i know that they have a floor that cuts out dummies from joining for obvious reasons

supply and distribution managers - yeah not the highest intellectual requirement but is it really any lower than b.s jobs like 'social worker'?

financial investment / advisers etc - definitely intellectually demanding, education intensive jobs

financial broker - ditto

importer, exporter, wholesale - about the same level as 'supply and distribution manager' (whatever the bugger that is)

police - definitely knuckle draggers here, move along

manufacturers - vague, whats that? if its just line/assembly workers then obviously dum dum, but labor has a category too which is that (factory process worker)

chief executive / managing director - high intellectual requirements for this

livestock farmer - not that high

air transport professionals - they dont like dum dums fly planes.

labor's list is almost entirely comprised of blue collar workers.

this list is much more 'unflattering' to labor than the liberals.

i see

so george s. patton, hannibal, napoleon, adolf hitler, ike eisenhower, etc. were 'stupid'.

i can't stand when people conflate their own personal views with what intelligence actually is - the ability to educe relationships, understand abstract material, solve problems, reason, learn rapidly, etc. amazingly. armies try to make sure people who can't do these things well don't sign up. you don't like the military, whatever. i don't particularly like lawyers either but i don't think lawyers are stupid.

it takes a special kind of cretin (i.e you) to make statements like that.

ive given my opinion on hicks in the past - i personally think he is a blowhard, very potentially just a local who has fabricated an account of an elaborate, jet-setting highly successful life. dont know for sure though. he certainly doesnt come across as particularly very bright, though not dumb either. he may be well educated but thats just a good example that a formal education cant make you brilliant anymore than a lack of one can make you dumb.

isnt that what a lot of those guys, or many guys like them, did? join an organisation that asks you to kill people and not ask questions. you said by definition that makes you stoopid.

so theyre not? so that 'joining an organisation to kill people and not ask questions' may not. by definition, make you stupid?

maybe you should put together the pieces of what you yourself write brah?

Good description, Denton.
People need to separate their own personal morals from what constitutes intelligence. Anyone can have a moral position on something, even 4 year olds, but not everyone has "the ability to educe relationships, understand abstract material, solve problems, reason, learn rapidly".
