It may well be a genuine cultural shift, it might be a fad that fizzles out when people move onto something new.

If it’s the former we just need to look at homosexuality - a cultural shift that took generations. Even still footballers, rugby players and others are reluctant to come out when statistically it’s improbable that large numbers are.

It’s not going to win or lose the 2024 election, or the 2029 one. By the time it has gained critical mass - if it does - the Tories can seamlessly move onto that ground anyway with those who most object to it either dead, dying, outnumbered and with nowhere else to go politically.
