Right or Wrong?

This weekend was my dad's 60th Birthday, which gave me an oppotunity to chat to some of his old friends, and also some family members I don't get to see very often. Obviously it was a lovely evening which went really well and everyone had a great time, but from the chats I noticed something, or at least I developed a theory anyway.

You get more Right-Wing, the older you get.

This doesn't bode well for where Andy might end up politically!

But it surprised me how the views of those people over 50 seemed to have hardened, perhaps from personal experience, or maybe from reading the Daily Mail to often, either way it was an interesting phenomenon to observe, if a little disheartening.

It's something that's only happening to my parents generation either, I've also noticed some elements of Rightwing thought being expressed by my peers, who for the main are a liberal thinking and fairly easy going, maybe we're maturing too soon?
