Age, rather than class, has come to determine how Britain votes

By 2017 a 30-year-old was twice as likely to back Labour over the Tories, while a 70-year-old was twice as likely to do the opposite

Evil brainwashing Tories OUT!!

 

They brainwash old people who aren't as net savvy and fall prey to the evil BBTory, corporate news and right wing rags.

I can see you won't be convinced that voters prefer the Tories to a Corbyn-led Labour party no matter how badly Lab do in the next election...

40% agaimst rhe most hostile media v a politician EEEVER x Sorry.

Opinium (Con +16), Deltapoll (Con +13) and YouGov (Con +15) all showing Conservative leads in excess of 10pts.

 

 

Are they all wrong?

Michael would still say they'd won if Boris got a 100 seat majority or the election was corrupt or influenced by Trump or Putin or Mickey Mouse. :D

Unionist newspaper the Herald has published its readers poll showing a 57.5% backing for the SNP, 80% (!!!) backing for remain (admittedly not overly surprising given it’s broadsheet) and finally 60% backing for independence.

 

Tides be turning in Scotland

Polls of a self-selected sample of readers of one paper are completely meaningless. Pretending such polls mean anything should be left to the Daily Express.

Usually id agree, but the unionist/nationalist divide in Scotland provides a different frame to look through. When a unionist paper is returning such a heavy volume of nationalist support there is something relevant there and worth thinking about

I eagerly await the first during-campaign polls - that's when the action was last time! :)

Similar with age as well, although not surprising

7% of 18-24 backing SNP is something like 80-85% of all under 25s in Scotland if that held out over a full sample size for scotland

So what are you suggesting - that older people shouldn't be allowed to vote?

 

It not, what else?

Doesn’t look like suggesting anything, merely that if you are less educated, you are more likely to vote the Conservative Party. What that says about the value of the parties can be left up to the reader.

Then why is it whenever *I* post, I'm always accused of having a hidden agenda?

I have absolutely no idea how you have inferred that I'm suggesting taking away people's right to vote. Indeed, I'm talking about education, not age.

 

Poll of the 16,000 strong Facebook group of UK migrants in France:

 

64.5% Lib Dem

24% Lab

7% SNP

2.1% Green

0.8% Plaid

0.7% Conservative

0.1% Communist

0.8% Independent/other

 

Clearly meaningless for anything other than for displaying how well the Tories are hoovering up the migrant vote, whose everyday lives are being affected by this.

And *I* have no idea how people infer things about me, so if they don't like it done to them, don't do it to me. :mellow:

 

If people *are* going to make claims about me, at least be 100% honest about what you are implying, so I have a chance to defend myself.

Posting YouGov polls showing demographics for different parties isn’t suggesting that the elderly should have their vote taken away, nor are those statistics somehow about you.

 

What a bizarre leap.

As it's the Guardian, maybe it'll even be an acceptable source for Michael Moaner? :heehee:
