Shame on the old men!

chris-bhoy.bsky.social•40 days ago

The age groups aren't specific to one gender

honeywallbeer.bsky.social•39 days ago

There's a male / female split with males significantly more in favour of Reform Ltd and an agewise count with older age groups more in favour. I'm extrapolating for sure, but do you think it's old women swinging it in the over 50's groups?

And aggregate 70% progressive parties

weird grouping, look at the age ranges have to wonder how the 25-50 group breaks down.

pauldstevens.bsky.social•40 days ago

Twenty-five to 49 is an odd age group to use.

I’m embarrassed that many of my age group (and older) are the biggest reform voters. The age group that have had the most benefits from being in the EU and having an NHS free at the point of use. They would still vote Tory after their record too. Don’t understand 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm not a Green, I'm Labour. But Green are a billion times better than Reform. The former care and the latter are opportunistic. This is definately worth a repost.

Because they don't actually vote?

Controversial.

But what would society look like if you gave people a vote proportional to 100 minus their age.

So an 18 year old had a vote weight of 82, vs a 91yr old with a vote weight of 9.

🤷‍♂️would be an interesting experiment

Saving the planet just not as sexy as race riots and conspiracism.

Time for electoral reform. First past the post is democracy in name only

franners.bsky.social•39 days ago

FPTP stops a lot of people voting with their hearts. I think Green would be a lot higher in the polls if every vote counted.

toongeordie.bsky.social•39 days ago

I assume 65+ have lost their marbles. I am 68 and do not believe in Tory or Reform.

shropshiregreenman.bsky.social•40 days ago

It would be interesting to see those figures among young people broken down further by education and socio-economic groups to help understand where those Reform votes are coming from...

They only want to talk about Nigel
