if under 18’s in this country cant vote then 75+ or 80+ shouldn’t be able to imo. senile old cunts are responsible for all the shit that’s happened especially brexit
Is reform UK more right than the conservative party or more in the center?
Judging by the Polls the Conservative Party is going to get annihilated. I‘m just happy that Labour has a sensible leader now.
This is possible, but not guaranteed. I’ve seen a lot of variation in age-based predictions.
But we need the young ones to actually vote
There’s a Green party in the UK? I thought it was just the three plus some comedy characters to hide the fact that the electoral system is awful.
This time First Past the Post massively favors the left, because the majority is present nearly everywhere. It won’t be a full sweep, but there will be few constituencies that will go majority right. But the proportional vote is pretty stark this time too.
knowing the difference in population for each of the age gaps also helps, if there are 5 000 000 on 18-24 and 30 000 000 on 70+ then Labour will have a bad day.
The party of pensioners and landlords (who are also 50+ usually).
This paints a very gloomy picture for the future of the Tories.
It could be interesting to have the same graph weighted by the abstention
Wouldn’t that mean half of all Brits being Labour or Lib Dem voters?
The right wing press’ definition of “Young person” is now pretty much anyone who isn’t retired.
They talk about Labour voters as if they’re these lefty student campus protestors with no experience of the ‘real world’ even though a comfortable majority of people in their 40s, and a big plurality of people in their 50s, vote Labour nowadays.
Questions from a Europhile
How fast will Nigel Farage return to British Politics when the Labour government comes to power?
How fast before Express will have their first Headline with the word Betrayal in?
How fast will the Tories blame Labour’s victory on “Brussels interference”?
How soon after the election will Nigel Farage announce a “Save Brexit” tour?
How many Brexit slogans will Boris Johnson recycle in his new role as a game show host?
How quickly will Labour reintroduce EU-themed street parties to the horror of Brexiteers?
How many Tory MPs will apply for jobs at the European Commission after losing their seats?
How long before the Daily Express runs a headline claiming “Labour Sold Us to Europe”?
How many times will Jacob Rees-Mogg claim he predicted this outcome, but only in Latin?
How soon will Brexiteers demand a referendum on rejoining the British Empire instead?
How many cups of English tea will it take to calm Nigel Farage after Labour’s first EU-friendly policy?
How quickly will the new Labour PM be compared to a “Brussels puppet” by Tory tabloids?
How long before Boris Johnson releases a new book titled “Brexit: The Good Old Days”?
How many Labour MPs will propose renaming Brexit to “Regret-xit”?
This shows quite brutally that the old school late 30s move to the Tories hasn’t happened. It really is a crisis of epic proportions for them.
Lib dems consistently doing shite
Wow when you need to get to 70+ to get a plurality for the conservatives that’s downright apocalyptic. For them, of course, not the country.
It would be interesting if they showed the size of each population by the thickness of the bars.
