If the maxim holds that you get more right wing as you get older, then definitely. What happens when you start out right wing? I imagine some get to hide their tendencies in the world of business or Conservative government policy, but surely not all.
Is there some kind of test?
“Gideon, super news! For your 18th birthday, we’ve decided to let you off with some of your pals from your political debating club. We’ve got you a lovely lodge in Germany near the Polish border”
Two days after Gideon’s birthday
“Ah yes, zis is Inspector Jokzig. I am afraid they tried to invade Poland, like the others. We’ll need to put them in prison unless UKIP or the Tories need candidates for by-elections”

Sometimes, they go massively the other way.

maybe you move more towards Middle as you get more old. I mean i.e. that is what happened to both the Labour & Conservative parties as they got older, they got more middle, if I know my political history correctly, which I don’t.

Thinking about this some more, I’m reminded of my student days - particularly when studying US Politics. It seemed that the reverse was true there. Or at least in the case of Supreme Court Justices.
This is why when presented the opportunity, GoP Presidents will often attempt to get the most evagelical right-wing, abortion hating, segregation loving nominee through that they can.
Knowing that most/many (apologies, I forget the exact amount that retire before they die now) effectively stay in place until they die, and that they slowly get more “Liberal” as they get older.
Not entirely sure what my point was, but there you go.

Lol, you might start making sense by the time you are 60. 
Nearly laughing out loud on the bus reading this. Still a manages to be very pointed.
