How does age shape the way we vote?

Professor James Tilley meets some mainstream voters who buck the left wing youth trend in the UK - young Conservatives.

He wants to find out how peer pressure does, or doesn't shape, our behaviour. And what role does psychology play in helping us choose a party?

When it comes to the relative popularity of some radical right parties in Europe with the young, does their edgier status make them more attractive to developing brains drawn to risk?

The series considers the popular misconception that young people inevitably arrive at the ballot box automatically left wing.

And there's a similar belief that as we age, we will become increasingly right wing.

But Professor James Tilley is on hand to reveal that the relationship between age and how we vote is not straightforward.

Across five episodes he investigates how young people become attached to particular political parties, how ageing affects our political views - and how the choices made by political parties play out among the young and the old.

Presented by Professor James Tilley.

The Marketplace Of Politics

How do parties succeed with the young? Or attract older voters?

The answer lies in the methods politicians use to gain attention. It's a political marketplace, and key to understanding the appeal of radical parties is Sara Hobolt's idea of the political entrepreneurs - groups who disrupt the landscape and exploit a gap in the electoral market.

How do these newer challenger parties upend the status quo and win our votes?

The Next Generation

Do you still listen to music from your youth?

If you do, it's because your current world view has been shaped by the formative experiences of young adulthood - and the first political decisions we make can stick with us in the same way.

This is relevant to the question of who votes for the radical right now - because older voters formed their preferences back when the centre was dominant.

Bur aren't we supposed to become more right wing as we age? It's a story of generations - and it makes up the complicated stew of our motivations at the ballot box.

What's Going On?

20240219 (R4)

In major countries across Western Europe, the radical right is making an impact at the ballot box.

From the success of the PVV in the Dutch General Election, to progress for Marine le Pen's National Rally in France, commentators have described a populist surge ahead of European Parliament elections in June.

But what's less well covered is the fact that in some major countries in Europe, radical right parties attract the young more than they attract the old.

This can be a surprising revelation, as it's a popular notion that young people arrive at the ballot box somehow automatically left wing.

And there's a similar belief that as we age, we inevitably become increasingly right wing.

But Professor James Tilley is on hand to reveal that the relationship between age and how we vote is not this straightforward.
