Not enough of them voted on Brexit.

Two of my kids didn’t bother and none of my staff aged between 20 and 40 did.

Most of the 20’s I chat with at football didn’t bother, most of the nephews and nieces in the family didn’t either.

I’m sure there must be figures available to show the % of each age group that did bother to vote, maybe someone on here knows.

A lot of the 18 to 30 year olds I know wouldn’t have a clue where to go to vote or how to fill in a voting slip.

Whenever I go to vote for anything it’s remarkable how many people seem to be 50+ and how few are the younger brigade.

Same apathy many show towards work.

I didn’t like Corbyn at all but the one thing you can say about that version of Labour is that in their early days they seemed to gain traction with the youth element to some degree.

At the moment I don’t know if a single 18 to 30 year old within my personal orbit who belongs to a political party and have just one friend aged 26 who is politically motivated and he supports Labour, he was a Tory before going to university funnily enough.

Change has usually relied on youth, it remains to be seen if todays youth can be a r s e d to motivate themselves more than the 50+ in society.
