I do wonder what the YouTube generation is going to bring us; they appear socially ever more liberal, but there’s a heavy tinge of Tory economics underlying their media.

In short, more younger and BAME voters moving into the suburbs, therefore making traditionally Tory parts of London move towards Labour.

I think the reaction and attitudinal polling I saw to Uber losing its operating licence in London quite instructive on this point. Although worth remembering, as always with these things, we’re usually talking about affluent people in South East England.

What if the final/next form of right wing politics is the embrace of inexperienced youth that is slowly drawn from the libertarian fantasy of individualism to an understanding of the necessity of some degree of collectivism? The young believe they can conquer the world, the middle-aged know its better to share.

I had to read that first sentence 3 times before it made its way trough my skull. But yes, this is kind of my concern… with everything becoming ever more polarised, I worry that there’s what I suppose would be a kind of neo-Thatcherite age group, who grew up under Cameron and end up believing in the power of the individual to an even more extreme extent than the likes of Javid and Patel, especially when vacuous ‘self-made’ people like Zoella et all are the new celebrity figures to aspire to be.

We’re blaming Zoella for the Tories now?

Isn’t misleading kids by marketing yourself as super accessible and ultra honest while releasing a ghost-written novel the height of Torydom?

The other thing I can see happening is that once the younger generation start to acquire wealth they’re likely to consider it incredibly hard fought and are therefore less likely to be redistributive (see also - Baby Boomers, but for slightly different reasons)

I did a postal vote before I moved, but there was definitely only one choice for us!

#37
