However, conservatives were less flexible, refusing to deviate from old habits "despite signals that this ... should be changed".
Whether that is good or bad, of course, depends on one's perspective: one could interpret the results to mean that liberals are nimble-minded and conservatives rigid and stubborn.
Or one could, with equal justice, conclude that wishy-washy liberals don't stick to their guns, while conservatives and steadfast and loyal.
I guess that explains "STAY THE COURSE!"
