Why Millennials aren't Getting more Conservative as they Get Older

The video discusses a chart from the Financial Times showing generational voting trends, highlighting how older generations tend to become more conservative with age. However, millennials are diverging from this pattern, becoming less conservative due to economic challenges like the 2008 recession and housing issues. This shift poses a challenge for conservative parties, particularly in the UK, as they can no longer rely on a regenerating pool of right-leaning voters. The video suggests that to win back younger voters, conservatives need to address issues like homeownership and the cost of raising children.
