the collapse of morality on the Right

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Following on from my previous post, another change which may explain the apparent leftward political shift of women is the collapse of the Right as a moral force.

Men have no great difficulty in basing their voting behaviour on self-interest. They may despise a particular party but will still vote for it if they believe they personally will be better off. Women in general have more difficulty with this. They like to think they’re voting for a party or a candidate that stands for something moral and good.

Even fifty years ago one could convince oneself that the political Right stood for something moral and good – stability, social order, social cohesion and at least a vague belief that society needed some moral rules. The Right appeared to be pro-family, anti-drugs, they appeared to accept some kind of welfare state as necessary, they appeared to be willing to ameliorate some of the worst excesses of capitalism, they appeared to be patriotic.

That’s all changed. If the Left has changed out of all recognition since the 60s, so too has the Right. The elections of Thatcher and Reagan were watershed moments. The mainstream right-wing parties became explicitly the parties of corporate profit and individual selfishness and greed. Never again would a mainstream right-wing political party in the Anglosphere even contemplate taking a moral position on anything.

The parties of the “Left” on the other hand now seem to stand for the moral and the good. In fact of course their ideas on what is moral and good are distorted and bizarre (and in practice often extremely immoral) but at least they seem to have a moral stance.

The mainstream Right now stands for nothing other than greed. It has abandoned even the pretence of morality. It’s another possible reason that women appear to have moved leftward – women are never going to be entirely comfortable with political ideologies based purely on open explicit selfishness.
