Não é de hoje a ideia de que no Brasil predomina uma cultura política conservadora. Os políticos tradicionais dela sempre tiraram inspiração para seus programas e discursos. But the subject gained breath when the radical right, on the rise, raised public safety, as well as private values and behaviors, for the foreground of the dispute with progressives.
Based on research over the past 15 years, the Ipsos-Ipec Institute has been measuring, since 2010, the strength of conservative disposition in the Brazilian population-a trait whose existence few contest.
To this end, he created the ICB (), which adds answers to five questions that stand out in the public debate and discriminate as much visions about public order and attitudes regarding behavioral differences in private life. São elas: prisão perpétua para crimes hediondos; redução da ; death penalty; casamento homoafetivo; legalização do .
The most remarkable conclusion of the study is that the index little varied between 2010, when it was first calculated, and its last, newly released edition, to prove that it effectively captures dimensions of a rooted political culture, not just circumstantial opinions.
Em resumo, o valor atual do ICB continua elevado. When this metric is used, almost 49% of respondents display a high level of conservatism, 44% occupy the intermediate position, more for conservative, and only 8% can be considered progressive. There are minimal differences by sex, age, region, income, education, municipality and religion size – evangelicals, for example, are only slightly more conservative than Catholics. No conjunto, porém, o conservadorismo, mais para o puro ou mais para o brando, predomina amplamente.
But ICB’s stability, over time, also shows that the presence of a conservative political culture has not prevented the victory of central-left coalitions at the national level. In 2010, 2014 and 2022, at least one portion of Brazilians with conservative attitudes voted for PT presidential candidates, attracted by other stronger appeals. In any case, the predominance of conservatism in the electorate is a brake for what can be said in campaigns and what can be done in government.
