Young people are becoming more right-leaning, but they still trend left/“left” IIRC. This shouldn’t be a boon to Farage, though it also won’t hurt him nearly as much as it would even a few years ago.
Lots of people witter on about young men becoming right wing in the UK like we’re America, in reality young men were the second most left wing demographic after young women in the last election.
Anticipating the change, The Scum polled 16/17yo at the last election. Reform came 2nd behind Labour overall, but joint first amongst males. The Tories came last overall, with greens last among males.
Younger people still trend left, but they also may trend lefter than Labour. Which could mean more splitting of the overall vote and more unpredictability with our FPTP system.
So that’s Farage a lock for PM then.
