Chris Dillow — Ambiguity aversion in politics

Intersections of psychology, politics, and economic policy. "It's the uncertainty, stupid." Using unfamiliarity, difference, and uncertainty as propaganda rhetorical tools to influence debate and prejudice shape public opinion.

This is chiefly to do with UK politics. The same is operative in the US using code words, for instance to create FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt).
