A more remarkable finding might be that there is a over 70% turnout for voting in those people who participate in the British Household Panel Survey. Clearly not a group of people who are unaware they are being watched!
"... wrote in an unpublished article ..." then why is it being reported upon at all? So it has not even been through peer review yet. It might be a correlation based not upon testosterone but upon utter bollocks.
It never ceases to amaze me how these "bad science" articles never include links to their sources.
Edit: now I have re-read the article, it says about two thirds of the sample set with sons voted labour whereas about three quarters with daughters voted labour. This is one of those bits of research where the number are "approaching statistical significance". I.e. irrelevant.Last edited by BrowneIssue; 24 May 2009, 14:03.Leave a comment:

Er, wot? Some how I think there may be problems with their sample set. Fellow academics do not represent the general population.they found that 67 per cent of parents with three sons and no daughters voted for Labour or the Liberal Democrats.his rose to 77 per cent in households with three daughters and no sons.
However, 77% voting Labour for parents with daughters correlates with my observation that men that live in otherwise all female households suffer from serious mental illnesses.Leave a comment:

Who has Daughters?
Hmmm even with two sons & a misfire, I still class my views as to the right of Genghis Khan
daughters in the family
Economists claim to have found a correlation between the number of daughters and sons in a household and their father's political views.
By analysing data in the British Household Panel Survey, they found that 67 per cent of parents with three sons and no daughters voted for Labour or the Liberal Democrats.his rose to 77 per cent in households with three daughters and no sons. A similar patter was found among families with two and four children.
Professor Andrew Oswald, from Warwick University, and Dr Nattavudh Powdthavee, of York University, wrote in an unpublished article that has been submitted to an economics journal: "This paper provides evidence that daughters make people more left-wing, while having sons, by contrast, makes them more right-wing."
