indeed, the generational aspect is far more salient here because that is how the tories gerrymandered and bought votes. voting tory is not like voting for a conservative party elsewhere, they are a pensioner's party and prepared to trash all their other values for pensioners. thus they were fiscally conservative (imposed the highest taxes in sixty years to give the money to pensioners), anti-immigration (highest immigration in history to provide cheap carers for pensioners), pro-reform (flooded the nhs with money to provide healthcare to pensioners) and pro-growth (more or less banned the construction of new houses and infrastructure to boost the asset wealth of pensioners).
