In an unpublished article to be submitted to an economics journal, the researchers wrote: �This paper provides evidence that daughters make people more Left-wing, while having sons, by contrast, makes them more Right-wing.�
Professor Oswald said: �As men acquire female children, those men gradually shift their political stance and become more sympathetic to the �female� desire for a larger amount for the public good.
Some of the commenters to this article aren't buying it:
What total drivel!
I have two daughters and never could they persuade me to follow the left wing trash of the Labour party.
But then; I'm just to the right of Genghis Khan.
What a load of rubbish!
Who comes up with this nonsense?
Oh yes it's Labour's think tank!
No wonder the country is in la la land.
My mother raised me "left wing", and I came to my senses and abandoned it when I became a wife and mother with a mortgage. And I don't get my political views from nitwits like "brangelina".
Good for them.
