What happens when people reach their 40's?
They have assets to protect and a mortgage to pay off |

And a looming reliance on the NHS - which is strange.

I'm going in the other direction.
I know plenty of people in the veteran age range and they tend to still be left wing or very left wing, similarly I have plenty of pub discussions with younger fellas, who are driven by the ideas alt right in America with the likes of Jordan Peterson, being some sort of guru |

I think I am too. I have always favoured the left, my dad was a shop steward and a proper old school leftie. As I have got older I see more and more inequality and greed from right wing capitalism, the gradual privatization of the NHS for profit and not for improvement, something I have relied upon a lot in recent years, with an American style health insurance I have no doubt I would not be here now being that I am in the bottom couple of % based on income. I think it was just after the poll tax riots of 1990 that was the first time as a 24 year old that I even genuinely considered how politics affected me and how the Conservatives only ever look after themselves and the inequality in our society. The rich get richer and the poor and sick (how I see myself) always seems to get poorer and sicker. Thats it in a nutshell for me. |

Just for completeness... You may think this is obvious but just to be sure, I assume that this is solely covering projected voting intentions for Dec 12th and not the 'normal' voting pattern of various demographics at a General Election? |

Just for completeness... Cutting back on education spending makes good Tory sense. |

Bloody hell, you with your questions,
Sorry, I'm recently retired! I'm off out now so no more pestering. The main surprise there for me are the LD & Brexit votes. I would have expected both of them to be more pronounced demographically. I do wonder if potential LD support has been impacted by misgivings about them going for an outright revoke rather than a second referendum. I base that on a sample of one extremely intelligent and likeable voter. |

Well, perhaps not. The highly educated are probably in well paid jobs and so can afford to vote Labour. The less educated have aspirations to earn more and see the Tories as more likely to help them achieve that. |

They'd need an education if that's what they believe. It's the Tories that keep on slashing education funding and introducing fees etc. |

Wealth. And the prospect of a Corbyn assault on pension relief/State pension and inheritance tax. Which is what would worry about in voting Labour. Brexit muddies the waters though. |

Makes sense to slash the education funding if polling suggests that those with low educational value will vote for you anyway. |
