Sorry, I thought you were a fan of "You can do what you like in the privacy in your own home, but I don& #39;t see why the rest of us have to see it." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/right-wing-academics-forced-to-hide-views-jftvx3mtp">https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/r...

I go with & #39;What seems the right/most sensible thing to do& #39; rather than a firm adherence to & #39;centre-left& #39;, but I have the confidence I can & #39;show my working& #39; if I did get into a debate, that I listen to all sides, and allow my views to evolve. I& #39;m genuinely curious why they don& #39;t.

Of course what this doesn& #39;t show, and would be far more fascinating, is the breakdown by field and demographics. & #39;Academic& #39; is broad spectrum, and covers a rather massive range of people, that any statistics here is fairly useless.
