I think the starkness of the generational divide in British politics relative to other Western countries suggests a real possibility that demographic trends could wipe out traditional conservatism as a political force in the UK over the next 20 years.
I doubt that will have too much of an effect if conservatism does die. Labour clearly clings to the economic orthodoxy which tells us that real change is impossible because of the magical rules of transnational market capitalism.
Nothing can meaningfully change until we elect a political party who can challenge this dogmatic 'reality'.
