Not voting for them is probably the better path to take. |  |

I actively campaign against them but sadly so few do. They do politics from behind screens and then wonder why nobody votes Labour. | |

That's something that every adult in the UK should listen to. Profoundly moving. |  | | |

They won't. Only a tiny % of people engage with news items now and those are nearly all exclusively the over 40's. | |

It's the over 60s who bloc vote Tory, so I'm up for spreading the clip, even if the young 'uns don't listen to it. | | | |

Powerful stuff. The dehumanisation of the numbers is something I feel very uncomfortable about. I understand why people talk the way they do, as when you've had hundreds of deaths a day then 'only' nine is seen a small victory. But that's still nine lives lost and nine families lives turned upside down forever. I try not to lose sight of that. |  |

Generally no, that's a misconception that has been spread over many years. If you think about that age group, they have been voting for Labour Governments on off until 2010 for a period of 40-50 years, with Labour having a block period of 13 years in that same period and have always been opposition if not in Government. If they were all Conservatives, then according to that logic every socialist over 50 has died off. This is not true. It's nonsense spread by the media.
It's a secret ballot, we don't know who votes for who but from my work in the past with Labour I can tell you it's almost an even mix across the board when you look at age, it's actually social background, employment and wealth that govern voting habits not age. Scotland has been a big issue for Labour. Losing Scotland has in effect given the Tories power.
The young demographic from our research are likely to share and engage with left wing content and causes online but in many cases still likely to vote the opposite way as sharing this type of content is more to do with being popular than activism and of course many choose not to vote when they are on the left.
It's a real problem - why is why we need you out there with us making those arguments in person, not online. | |

It's not quite a misconception, all analyses of voting patterns by age done over the past 50 years shows that over 60s have always voted Tory regardless of background - in the 1970s it was mainly over 70s that overwhelmingly voted Tory, by 2017, it was over 60s...

You say that it's a secret ballot and we don't know who votes for whom, and then you claim that we do know, and that it's an even mix across the board when you look at age. Which is it?
Personally I'd rather trust YouGov:
https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/12/17/how-britain-vot
Of those who vote and who are 70+ years old, 14% vote Labour and 67% vote Tory. Of those who are 18-24 (and who vote) 21% vote Tory and 56% vote Labour.
YouGov says:
"In fact, for every 10 years older a voter is, their chance of voting Tory increases by around nine points, and the chance of them voting Labour decreases by eight points." |  | | |
