Further, assuming this holds do mothers vote Conservative? As we’d a Conservative Government from 1979-1997 (22 to 40 year olds) a lot of people’s dads must have voted Conservative. Do their children do the same, because they are equally wealthy and privileged? Or are they “too clever (enough to not die in a fire at least) and they always make informed choices?

My area voted around 60% leave even though we benefit from the EU. People tend to feel the money has been wasted on vanity projects instead of being spent on projects to help lift people out of poverty. Labour around here love grants from anywhere they can get them and for what ever excuse they can find.
I'm sure the mothers have also been voting Labour, and if we keep the children poor they will most likely continue the trend.
