Badly behaved children are more likely to grow up to be left-wing, a study has shown. A study of 16,000 British people in their 30s found those with troubled childhoods were more likely to favour radical socialist policies. The study was a follow-up to research conducted when they were children at the ages of five and seven. Those whose parents reported they had ‘conduct problems’ at in primary school were more likely to favour radical socialist polices and to smash the status quo. Both UK-based studies assessed children at birth, and were then followed up in their childhood and later in their thirties.
