Why age has become the main dividing line in voting behaviour:
Reflects shifting economic position of Britain.
The rise of the gig economy
As people age they acquire more assets
Young voters are less likely to vote,
how has the shifting economic position of Britain made age a main dividing line in voting behaviour?
In the 80-90s, Britain moved from an industrial economy to a services-based economy, meaning fewer jobs in 'class-based' sectors + more focus on office-based jobs where position comes with age
how the rise in the gig economy has made age a dividing line in voting behaviour
focuses more on young people and so they aren't interested in conservative traditional policies
proof young people are less likely to vote
the 2017 'youthquake' was only 54%,
