Conservative Ladettes? A survey of 5000 young British women has yielded some interesting results. On the one hand, the survey confirms the “ladette” trend in female culture. More than half of the women admitted they got drunk at least once a week, 45% had taken drugs, 35% smoked and 73% had slept with someone they wished they hadn’t. But some more conservative attitudes have survived behind the party girl exterior. A very large majority, 81%, hoped to give up work whilst looking after their young children, 86% wanted to get married and 96% believed they would be able to be faithful in marriage. On issues of national identity, 70% wanted Britain to leave the EU and 80% rejected the Euro. The moral of all this? Perhaps not to be too glum about liberalism controlling the beliefs and behaviour of young people. On some issues, at least, conservatism is still the majority view, even amongst young, modern, trendy party girls. Comments:2

Having read Kirby I am not surprised by the hopes and dreams expressed by these girls. More unexpected is the European angle: 70 and 80 per cent!! Anyway, 5,000 is a very adequate sample so I see no reason to distrust the outcome. 3
Posted by Peter on Thu, 21 Oct 2004 00:26 | # The Kirby link is here (PDF warning), but it’s a CPS pamphlet. On Europe, it’s long been a liberal stereotype that eurosceptics are all geriatric Germanophobes who believe World War II never really ended. In fact, young people are consistently shown to be the most eurosceptic age group. It’s certainly an extraordinarily high proportion, though - more than 2-1 against even EU membership. 4

Or they have emerged because these women have experienced promiscuity and drug abuse, have witnessed the negative consequences and have realised they don’t bring happiness.
