This wasn't a conclusion reached by The Economist, but rather an economist - a Yale economist to be specific.
What i was saying before is that sometimes the best way to motivate and turn people to your view, is to present your cause as being the underdog - thus providing further motivation to those who may agree with you already, but are generally to lazy to be troubled with voting.

but to answer your question about The Economist...
