In so far as turnout affects my estimates on the parties base support, conventional wisdom is that the lower the turnout the more it favours the Conservatives.
Tory voters tend to be older and older voters tend to be more likely to vote.
Overall though, concentrating on those that actually do vote, 70% of people in the UK generally vote one way and one way only regardless of the economic or political situation at the time in the country.
Just like surveys showing that people in the UK tend not to change bank accounts or their energy suppliers, people vote either through deep conviction, or more likely out of habit.
