"People who hold certain, commonplace views, stay silent believing that expressing those views will carry penalty not reward."
Certain _commonplace_ views, hmm? A lot of abhorrent beliefs about race and gender are commonplace - that doesn't make them acceptable.
"And yet, despite winning a landslide victory in 2019’s General Election, British Conservative voters are nine points more reticent to say what they believe than Labour voters. Why does the larger group fear judgement more than the smaller group?"
Could it be that in this _self-reported_ survey, one group would like to portray themselves as an embattled minority, when in fact they've been in complete control of the country for most of the last decade, and have made a series of appallingly bad decisions based on their "commonplace" but wildly false "views", decisions which have devastated the economy, with even worse yet to come?
Could it be - and I'm only spitballing here - that a lot of truly repugnant or even false beliefs are no longer acceptable in the workplace?
