I'm 41 now which is pretty old on this board I think. I've become more right leaning as I get older but I'd still vote Lib Dem if they had a chance to win. I voted Labour in the election and I can't see myself ever voting Tory.
I think if getting older = getting more comfortable and getting a bit blinder/more hardened to the problems of the world, then you're probably right that that does happen. But I think if you live in London and you see how rough things are for those at the bottom of the pile, it's much harder to justify voting selfishly. So I think geography is as important as age.
I am 61...and have voted Labour since 1974....three words to describe me....'grey haired Marxist'...my mother was disappointed that my socialism never lessened...and it still has not lessened.
