In 1994, when voters were asked whether immigration was a burden on the country, there was a 25-point gap between supporters of Labour and the Conservatives. By 2014, that gap had grown to 33 points. At the 2017 General Election, Labour beat the Conservatives by a remarkable 52 points among 18 to 24-year-olds. But among people over the age of 65, the Conservatives beat Labour by 29 points. Age is one of the great dividing lines in our society and politics.
