Field notes
The page defines “grey voters” as older, retired, and politically active, emphasizing their reliance on pensions and asset income rather than wages. It contrasts their listed priorities—pension benefits, care, health, and low inflation—with younger and middle-aged voters’ concerns. Eurostat and Our World in Data are named as demographic sources, alongside references to The Political Quarterly and World Politics.
