The question is, is this* a function of changing age or of changing generations? If the latter, it may indicate some straightening of the pattern; if the former, a natural C[ircles] A[nalysis &] S[ynthesis] progression:

The implication that women are more likely to follow a predominantly I[nner] C[ircle] rotation is not entirely welcome!** But it does suggest that older female Conservatism is likely to be quite different *** from the younger male version: in fact, older Conservatism will be different (more I[nner] C[ircle] than [sic] younger (more O[uter] C[ircle]). Look at the Tory party now.

Similarly, younger Socialism should be quite different (more I[nner] C[ircle]) from older Socialism (more O[uter] C[ircle]): look at the Labour party now.

This I[nner] C[ircle] pattern is a recognised one, for a red youth and a Tory old age. Political circumstances may distort it.

*[See last previous entry]

**(But an old idea for me, all the same....)

***(This may have been covered before)

****Some periods may appear to reverse this; eg the UK [political] parties in the 1950s?

#Don’t forget the alternative explanation of voting patterns: changing generations (ref [[Redbook7:295-296][19900915:1543]{Voting Circles}[15th September 1990]&/f,] 295 [top of this page])
