Conversations about the young people and politics, left or right, often miss out an important fact.
They are are much less likely to vote.
As political scientist Rob Ford notes - "The young are very keen on protest politics. The old vote. Guess who gets what they want out of the politcal system?"
Continuing his look at how age influences our vote, Professor James Tilley addresses the popular misconception that young people enter the political world automatically left wing.
And there's a similar belief that as we age, we will become increasingly right wing.
James 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.
