Options 2-5, but the real answer is...

structural functionalism.



The educated (who are able to call themselves such mostly because they are already rich/connected enough to have access to an education) have an interest in maintaining the status-quo because its been so good to them.  This pushes them away from the political fringes because they see no need for massive reorganization of political structures when they've been able to succeed and prosper within them already.
