Talking 'bout their generation

A lot of stats at pollytics shows pretty clearly what you probably suspected -- the in Australia the conservative Coalition parties gets a lot of their support from people that are from older generations. Specifically, their support is much higher among over-60s, who make up over a quarter of the population

By the way, in case you're interested I found a similar analysis of the so-called Millenial Generation (born 1978-2000) in the US: New Progressive America: The Millennial Generation. One of the fascinating numbers is that by 2020, this cohort will be 40% of the voting-eligible population in the US. It's a huge slab of the demographic.
