Nearly everyone I know who's right-leaning regardless of age have decent jobs, homes, and families (in some not all cases).

Most of the left-leaning and especially Corbynites I know either work crappy jobs or are unemployed - even if they're pushing 40!

I think its too easy to do what Oliver has just done and think political ideals are linked to status.
