      Those voters who would shift to the Conservatives with age did so because they had accumulate assets that they would want to protect. Fewer and fewer people are getting the chance to accumulate such assets now, so there would be no reason for their politics to shift.

      I agree the governance of the UK is in need of reform, and I would say voting reform would be the place to start.
