pension aged members within the party, I think. Not voters. As in - the choice of leadership is farage or pension aged people who can barely stand, let alone lead a party
Everything you are saying is flawed, and nothing but more culture wars.
This is the demographics of the 2019 vote. The mean age of the Tory membership is 54. Tory MPs decided on Sunak not the membership. The membership rejected Sunak at the previous vote. Tory membership is in a consistent decline. It peaked in the 1950’s with 3m members. Currently it has 140,000, which is 0.04% of those who vote.
You were generalising an opinion of a group with no evidence to back it up. That is the abject epitome of culture wars. You were inferring everyone above 60 is a nasty person. This is very much in line with atypical populist political statements. What I pointed out was that your opinion everyone who is Tory is above 60 was based on nothing but your biased opinion, which is a direct contrast to your claim.
That demographic of people is enormously important in voting calculations
It really is, but jumping up and down and blaming others for you not voting is not a credible fix. I really encourage as many young as I can to vote. Look at the demographics of the recent Polish election. The young came out in numbers and ousted the far right. It can be done if people are proactive. It won’t ever be achieved by blaming others for your own failings.
