People are beginning to realise that you cannot get Scandinavian social policies with out Scandinavian tax systems; in other words if we want a good NHS, social support, good education and social care we must all be prepared to pay more for it, not just believe vaguely that the rich can pay for it, a bit like believing in fairies.
I think education level is far more important an indicator of social attitudes than age. It is just that in our childhoods/youth far fewer people needed further education to enter many professions than they do now and far fewer people stayed at school until 18, let alone went on to further education.
DF left school without any exam passes, went into clerical work, was called up into the army, a few years later selected for officer training, left the army, joined a bank at branch level at a senior level, without ever passing any exams. He was also a staunch Conservative!!
Education forms your political and social values far more than age.
