Some made that argument prior to the EU and Scottish referendums on the basis that the elderly would not have to live with the consequences of their vote. It was nonsense then and it's nonsense now. If we're going to make any assumptions about older voters it should be that they have a lot more experience and a much longer-term perspective than hand-wringing millennials who always seem in such a hurry to reinvent the world in their image.
