Its more that they glamorise people they had no experience living under. They read their theories and love the theortical output, but have no clue to the living conditions.

See, RB, I don't like him so much either. Both sides have decent idea's. The problem is the extremes they take it to and the fact it becomes a belief system.

yeah. University political types are pretty bad, just so blinded either way (having known a few young labour people, and knowing the rep of the young liberals). You get a bit more perspective as you get a bit older.

Anyone listened to the podcast "The worst idea of all time?"

They did live under Howard in fairness. I do wonder how many of them would've been able to go to university had the right had their way or whether they're all rich kids?

They went to high school under Howard. That's not living under him; that's living with your folks living under him. But you're likely right re their socio economic position.

As children in their early teens at most.

The stage of life they are in would clearly mean that their political views would have been almost entirely formed by their parents.
