Nah as long as labour supports the Online Safety Act, Reform will win

Flash in the pan springs to mind, still a while to the GE but if Reform is losing support now its not looking good.

Meet the new self serving party who doesn’t give a shit about young people, same as the old party

Farage wants us to have a similar healthcare to America, fuck that
He’s also an untrustworthy snake, there’s actually no good party (that I’m aware of) to vote for… how annoying

Just looking at the data now:
32% labour 30th June
24% labour 28th July
38% labour 18th August
31% greens 21st July
14% 8th August
Reform generally poll around the 10% mark for this age group but did have a peak early August, which appears to be anomaly.
It seems there’s quite a lot of fluctuations in a short period of time, and this is observed regardless of political party. However, there is a clear trend towards support for Labour, Liberal Democrats, and then Greens in that order.

Not to worry, they will get somebody to make a funny TikTok video and support will go racing back up..
Not saying that young people are stupid but am I saying thay are naive and have zero critical thinking skills.

Of course it has. They’re not dim and they want a future.
They can see through middle-aged bluster and bullshit better than anyone.
The question is, who’s going to offer them anything they want?
Efficient_Sky5173 on
Reform has nothing to offer. All puff and no pastry.

My bet is they learnt that Farage is an idiot who doesn’t know what’s he on about

Why is he making that face? Has he just tasted something unpleasant? Is it meant to be cheeky in a relatable sort of way, like „oh look at Nigel what a madlad haha“?
Is it an attempt at seduction? I know certain species of lizard make similar mating displays. Or it might be that little dinosaur from Jurassic Park I’m thinking of, you know the one, the unexpectedly deadly one with the sudden neck frill.

Probably people were supporting them as a joke and then realised that the older people were genuinely serious about them.

Relying on dissatisfaction with the government isn’t going to work unless you have concrete policies that people think are credible.
Relying on stirring up race wars isn’t going to cut it.

Turns out xenophobia not so popular amongst young people.

Im not believing this. The other week it was support for reform amongst young people was at an all time high…
Lets just ignore shite articles like this, let the voters have their day young or old.

Sigh.
Not sure why people post things from this ridiculous site.
Since June Yougov’s weekly results for 18-24 are:
* 11%
* 13%
* 9%
* 14%
* 11%
* 9%
* 8%
* 8%
* 14%
* 21%
* 12%
* 7%
Obviously young people aren’t actually that insanely fickle that their support for Reform triples in two weeks then goes back down to what it was before two weeks after that.
It’s simply statistical noise – sample variations, probably a small subsample size giving a very high confidence interval on any of the numbers.
Next week, the sample is likely to be higher than 7%. „The London Economic“ won’t report on this because it doesn’t fit their agenda.
Obviously in fact Reform are **not** popular with the 18-24 group. That much is very clear. It’s just thick or dishonest to pretend that they were very popular and that that has suddenly collapsed.

Well that’s marginally restored my faith in humanity.

I like the results but it’s one survey. I’d take with a pinch of salt

The boats have pretty much stopped so, apart from ruining the country’s infrastructure, what’s their beneficial policies now?
Much as this is great to see, I’m as cynical as I would be if it were a poll I *wasn’t* happy about. I’m not convinced *YouGov* polls really give us any real sense of what’s going on in the public at large.
That having been said, I *do* hope this one is true. And that Farage is crying into his evening Corn Flakes as we speak.

IMO the worst position for Labour to be in for attracting the votes of young people is to be in power. Because they’re now constrained by the responsibility of making what they promise a reality.
It should actually be easy for parties like Reform UK to steal vote share fir the young with a load of BS promises. It speaks for how much Reform are just gunning for Pensioners at the expense of the young, opposing green sustainable policies, and being giant NIMBYs.
If Reform UK get into power the one thing to be thankful is there’s least the same ticking time bomb on their demographics as the Tories. Plus lack of appeal outside of Farage himself.

They might be tough on immigration but their economic plans are terrible for young people and the country as a whole. They are against the NHS, the BBC, climate change etc. Farage is also a grifter and a lot of young people can spot that a mile off, which puts off a lot of them. Hopefully young people realise that Farage will tell them whatever they want to hear, even if he promises different things to different groups.
