General UK trends split by age seem to suggest this. (Lord Ashcroft and other polls)
Luckily my parents aren't going there, they are still centre and actually became a tiny bit more liberal.
I can understand people being worried about pension triple lock, I mean, who gives an 70 year old a job) and possibly we get more selfish as we gather goods.
But it may depend on dataset. If your life is filled with daily mail... perhaps all you do is get more right wing. But hanging out with refugees may turn you more lefties for example.
The UK media climate is .... Interesting. Perhaps that skews older people towards more conservative views, if it's true they watch more TV.
I can't make a hard assumption w/o good datasets. Just trying not to become like the guy from the tuv who was always a bitter man and he only gets more bitter!

I am the youngest person in the office where I work, and pretty much the only person with left leanings. I am told again and again that you get more conservative when you get older - does this hold true in practice? Are all the free love/hippies from the 70s now voting UKIP? Seems to be my father's course.
People say "when all these old people voting Con. now are dead, we will have a liberal revolution" - is that true, or do young people just get old, more tory and replace dead right wingers?
