    economic conditions are worse the further you go

    Americans think economy isn’t so bad in their city but is crappy nationally and globally « Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science

    And the more right wing you are the worse it gets!

    There are similar studies whereby:

    People believe their NHS treatment is better than the NHS as a whole.

    People believe their MP is better than MP a whole.

    The right wing element is new to me but makes sense when you consider that right wingers are credulous and stupid.

        but it’s hard to see a rational reason for the Lake-Wobegon-like pattern of people thinking things are ok locally but not nationally
        They read the news maybe. As for right wingers, read the actual facts as stated by reputable sources like the WHO, US state department, ONS, hospital, police reports or university studies sources and it is clear their view, although it may be exaggerated, bear more resemblance to reality than those of the left.

        PS Except for defence issues, then it's righties who live in the fantasy world.
        PPS Or porn. They live in such a fantasy world about sex that they won't let us live in a fantasy world of sex.

            ownership combining with optimism providing a better outlook is hardly a shock.

            Why are right leaning individuals more likely to be positive? That's easy, lefties tend to spend their whole time complaining about how 'X' deprived minority groups are mistreated and live in deprivation while they consume their bottle of Krug.The right normally just get on with helping them or ignoring them.

              You do realise the data shows that right leaning individuals are more negative don't you?

                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  When you next walk by any old hospitals have a look at who paid for them before they were nationalised and many still do afterwards.

                  Now you don't get much more tough right wing businessman than this guy but note what his OBE was presented for, it wasn't for flogging 99 cones.

                    I agree lefties are generally the last people to help the poor and do seemingly altruistic/philanthropic stuff, but as regards Gordon Brown my understanding is that he has given most of his speech earnings to charitable causes.
