And yet the party with the most power in the country is the most socially conservative and right-wing major party in the Western world...


That 30-40% are far more motivated to vote than the other 50-60%.  They feel like their "way of life"(ability to control others) are under threat while that other 50-60% are less motivated to vote.

They also tend to be Whiter and more affluent, two factors that indicate higher turnout, but I doubt you'd have as much fun focusing on those things.

While many of these trends were troubling, the one that bothers me most is 62% finding having a baby out of wedlock to be OK.  Except in very rare circumstances, children are better served with 2 parents rather than just 1, and as such this behavior ought to be discouraged by society.

Personally, my first image of "baby out of wedlock" is two people in a serious relationship (and likely to be married) accidentally getting pregnant and deciding to keep the baby and raise it together ... there was a time when even that was very much taboo, and I'm glad that time is over.  Again, it could mean other things, but it did not conjur up images of a bunch of folks getting each other pregnant and raising children as single parents.
