On the correlation between "left-wing" governments and public finance imbalances, with a cognitive hypothesis

Across the world, from cold Canada to sweltering Rio de Janeiro, whether by the federal, state, or municipal government, the same pattern exists: when a "left-wing" government is elected, during its term, an imbalance in public finances tends to occur, even harming its chances of reelection.

But why does this happen?

One obvious reason: because "left-wing" governments spend more to expand benefits for the population, in contrast to the typically austere "right-wing" governments that dislike being generous to those they don't want.

However, two other reasons may also explain this pattern, which seems to be practically universal. First, the psychological, or rather psychiatric, explanation for existing, as I speculate,of a disproportion of individuals with certain varieties of antisocial disorders, such as machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, especially high-functioning psychopathy, who identify with the "left" on the political-ideological spectrum, and who are even more abundant among its politicians (not that they are not also common on the other side of the polarization trench, but that they tend to differ in the predominant type of antisocial personality). And this would also explain the high rates of corruption in these governments, as these individuals would take advantage of the "excessive" spending of public funds to embezzle funds for their own pockets.

The final explanation for this correlation between "left-wing" governments and imbalances in public finances is cognitive. This is essentially the correlation between identifying with the "left" on the political-ideological spectrum and presenting explicit or implicit deficits in mathematical abilities, or a cognitive profile biased toward verbal-linguistic abilities that, in any case, has a detrimental effect on the other abilities mentioned. Therefore, it would be a combination of an idealistic desire to promote or expand social "improvements," common among self-identified "leftists," which leads to greater spending when in power, plus a disproportionate number of psychopathic individuals among them who take advantage of this spending to commit acts of corruption with public funds, and, finally, the predominance of a psycho-cognitive profile biased toward the "human sciences" and/or deficient in economics/mathematics that can also contribute to the misuse of public accounts.
