Millennials are bucking trends, becoming an increasingly progressive voting bloc and rewriting the long-held rules of politics, writes Isabella Higgins.

Millennials are the first generation to move left as they age

I told you boomers I was gonna do that, when I was 17, already coming out of my corporate-fanboi phase of my teens. "Afukinatoadaso"

Glad there are millennials who came after me doing so too. Unsurprising, given what we went through. Well done capitalism, selling out our futures.

Now I just hope more remembered it's freedom too, and not just jumping boat from Big Baron into the arms of Big Brother (or Big Bully, or Big Bank, or Big Blight, or Big Bot).

Like ol Mikey Bakunin said: "We are convinced that freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice, and that Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality." -- Mikhail Bakunin https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mikhail_Bakunin

[Edit... it's only early to mid 40s for the first Millennials so far... We'll see if that sticks. As the saying goes, "60's the new 40".]
