Increasingly age, not class, appears as the most prominent dividing line in politics. As young people have turned towards the left, older voters have turned to the right. What are the causes of this growing divide? Are things as simple as the statistics look? And how can we build intergenerational solidarity to overcome these divisions? Join five socialists from five different generations to discuss these questions and more.
