Whilst I understand what you are saying, I have to point out as you grow older ( I have now been a voter for 40 years) you will see the effect certain parties, being in power either locally or nationally, have on your life and the lives of people around you. I know that my political opinions have been moulded by those factors. There are some things you never forget, how certain sections of the community were regarded with disdain and consigned to the 'dustbin'. I was brought up to believe that 'I am my brother's keeper' and that has always influenced my political choices - I have the responsibilty to consider the needs of people less fortunate than myself.
I don't mean to infer that you are selfish or thoughtless, but just giving you some insight into how older people's attitudes to political parties have been arrived at.
