To add a serious point to this great tweet:

The traditional drift rightwards as people age is really a drift towards maintaining the status quo once you feel part of it.

But if you can't buy a house, see a GP, afford childcare or get a stable job you never become the status quo

@garius I'm honestly not sure if the premise is even true.

I think that it's (more of) a cohort effect in Boombers (and to a lesser extent Gen X) than it is an ageing effect.

@jack @garius If anything I've got more left-wing as I got older. Teenage me assumed those in charge knew what they were doing, and getting older has in part been a process of continually discovering new ways in which that was incorrect
