Political generation effects on British party preference and on the association between class and party are examined through cohort analysis of the Oxford Mobility Study, a survey of men aged 20–64. The evidence shows a decline in Conservative strength across the cohorts along with higher levels of non‐partisanship in the younger cohorts. There is a decrease in class polarisation, but it is not symmetrical: Labour appears to have maintained its position as the party of the working class whereas middle class radicalism has increased
