It's interesting, because I was much more to the right when I was younger. I wonder if part of that was Blair/Brown being the ones in charge so criticism was directed that way.
The events after the financial crash definitely had an impact, as did being on here tbh. Spending my days trying to help incredibly wealthy people get richer while watching the country I'd seen improving slowly getting shitter probably had one of the biggest impacts.
Overall though I'd say that what she's really missing, is that under 30 odd years of conservative orientated policies you've seen factors that might make people conservative disappear.
If Sunak's folks rocked up here today, they couldn't give him the same life chances - so who gaf about VAT on private school fees?
Even with a good job you're not getting a home before you're 30 - so do you want to free landlords from energy efficiency rules, or introduce rent controls?
You need to have a couple of years savings or good credit to weather the brutality of nursery fees - so do you want free market competition between providers, or to be able to afford decent day care?
The list goes on.

Had to shitpost this from Holly V at PopCon..
Asked about her political leanings, she said: “I would say that everyone starts as a lefty and then wakes up at some point after you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then realise what crap ideas they all are. And then you go to the right.”
