Nothing achieves anything if you zoom out far enough.

Everyone is talking about it, so it achieved something. Will anything change because of that? Who knows.

My kids are moving away to university and will be living inner city in student accomodation.
It’s dwelled in me, city giving is inherently communal - limited living space with your living, commuting, entertainment, etc in shared space. It is a left lifestyle where you rely on others to provide most of your living requirements.
University students are generally left leaning. City’s are usually left leaning.
By contrast, I’ve always lived in the city fringe where my living and entertainment are provided more within my own home, my transport is via my own efforts, etc. aligns more individual responsibility and ‘right’.
Just an interesting observation and highlights to me how neither are right or wrong, just a product of differing experiences of life.

Bugger, we just had the universe boss here too. Could have answered so many questions and we just got him on the piss and made him play a game of cricket. Kiwis! Am I right!?!

Isn't that more a matter of income, students being mostly poor?

Well obviously there’s no point to anything in the biggest picture (unless we believe in God).
But on a scale where we look at consequences of actions then actions can be meaningful?

Somewhat but no.
More supply and demand.
Limited space so houses are smaller, no car parks, no living areas, no indoor outdoor flow.
‘Economics’ dictate that via limited supply of space we must be more communal and share.
The higher the density the more left voters tend to be.
Auckland and Wellington CBD have both gone greens and I can see the reasoning from those voters perspective.
Ultimately a left leaning inner cities and right leaning rest of us would be perfect but it doesn’t work that way where one side or the other must rule us all.

We assign meaning to our actions, whether they have any significance to the wider universe, who knows. Unless there's a creator who made us in it's own image as you say.
On students though, if someone is studying physics, engineering, medicine, whatever, why would they necessarily be left/right voters because of their student accommodation?

Generalisations.
If we zoom out far enough, does it really matter who votes for what
