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 always thought you went the opposite way, I’m getting more and more left as I get older (almost 50 now) and I see plenty of people going the opposite way, from left to right. I also think environment has a lot to do with it, which is the status quo I guess.

@Stubbs it's why i suspect it's somewhat generational.

when you're not staring down a decent pension and council-provided old age care anymore, it tends to make you drift leftwards!
