I suggest the inference is that you are more likely to come into contact with people who come from different backgrounds and hold different views than you have up to that point been surrounded with (you've moved away from your 'echo chamber' so to speak).

I don't particularly subscribe to the view that what you study defines your politics, it probably does in the 'caring' fields, more socially minded but I suggest your background 'blue collar family, white collar family' is still a driver at that age.

It usually in later life people tend to drift from the left towards the right.

After even saying all that I suggest we've probably moved on in the sense that higher educational students still retaining an 'echo chamber' as they seem to spend their life on social media well before they reach university age, and no doubt continue to follow their social media feeds and rejecting out of hand the politics of those they get to know as they progress with their education.

The hand that rocks the cradle type of thing.

 

Your point about moving right as people age is often quoted. People look at the current elderly and think it’s just an age thing. Boomers. 
From my perspective and for all my friends of my age, it’s because we’ve lived through the turmoil of the sixties and seventies and worked out that the Tories, on the whole, are better at running the country than Labour. That’s a personal view.

There will be many people who voted Labour this time that will and have come to the same conclusion or are looking for an alternative. That’s just experience. Not endemic of age.

Could be. But he's probably also had the best medical treatment for his entire life. So it's plausible.

No not endemic, there are folk who will vote Labour or Conservative no matter what but you only gain experience through age, and in those years most people tend to become more financially involved (car, home, kids, new tech gadgets, etc) and start to lean towards the party that now better represents them (tax cuts, rather then austerity by having to fill billions of pound into blackholes in the economy from previous governments)).

Reform seems to have added another layer to that in painting a picture of how idealised things used to be - less crime, a founded NHS that meets the needs of the sick, a time before Islam in the UK, before the illegals came on the boats, when council housing was easily available, before the Asian grooming gangs, before all the wokery began, in short a return to the 1960's.

That's what people want and will vote for the promise of it (say whatever you need to to get their votes) but delivering on the promises will not be achievable other wise Labour and the Conservatives before them, would have done it by now.

I'm very much a cynic when it comes to politics (read that as power) you only have to see the likes of Jenrick jump party's to get it, or what they did to Thomas Massie in the US a week or two ago.

Talking of Jenrick...

You’re too generous!

The giveaway bit for me is in the summary - “Cognitive (and physical) performance are excellent”.

No one on this planet believes that.

Thick as two short planks and declining.

Got to admire how the situation created by Trump is conveniently ignored when blaming labour for higher energy costs.

Trump is busy winning the war for the (at least) 8th time this weekend yet somehow Starmer is the one responsible for the choke point in Hormuz.

Doublethink at its absolute crankiest 🥳

Did you know that Ed Miliband looks a bit daft when he eats a bacon sandwich though?
