That you've attended the notchy school of ignorant/misleading statistics?
That some on here will still dispute that the avg apple weighs less than the avg pear.
I suspect the correlation between voting intention and "education" simply reflects the correlation with age, combined with the fact that everyone goes to university now.
There is a common insinuation, that those who with more "right wing" views are stupid bigots with no qualifications who form their opinions on the basis of disliking foreigners while those who support so called progressive causes are lofty intellectuals whose worldly views and rational analysis lead them to these views.
Of course this is complete nonsense. There's nothing about having a degree in window cleaning gives you great political or economic insight, and there is much about decades of life experience which will make people wary of progressive politicians making bold promises. The young have pretty much always been more drawn to these causes and movements while older people have been more cautious. The fact that we now give 50%+ of school leavers degrees does not add any weight to their political opinions.

Probably a few went “back to school” later in life.

How many people left school in the 1950s went to college 16-18 full time vs today. It’s utterly bonkers to try to make a comparison.
A legitimate comparison might be a breakdown by age group and education level.

Clearly you don't know as much as you thought you did.
Perhaps Sod will look it up, and explain for you.
Nope...
Both CSE and 'O' levels preceded GCSE's, and they were amalgamated to form a single qualification starting in 1988...
People were unfairly thought of as 'thickos' for taking the former, hence the welcome change.
I am also right
And notch's silly jibe
As usual.
And notch's silly jibe
is nonsense.perhaps JohnD only did CSE politics
As usual.
Less right, 'O' levels covered a larger period of time, more people did them, so more of the electorate will have them
I dont know maybe you did a city and guilds in plumbing...if you failed it, that might explain your hatred of plumbers
ignorant notch is unaware that only CSE can be accurately described as "GCSE and below"
But precision and accuracy have never been his strong points.
Nope...So in other words I am right
You were partially right.
Although given your spelling ability, I think we can take a guess at which one of the qualifications that preceded GCSE's you should have been allowed to take.
5/10 notchy...
