Re: Vote demographic break down

What jumps out at me is that most "young" people voted labour, but they were also the group with the lowest turnout. Therefor it is possibly safe to say that if more youngsters had voted, our PM would probably now be Mr Corbyn

i think its possibly safe to say if Maybot hadn't run such a disastrous campaign and succeeded in upsetting her core vote she'd d have the majority she though she'd have its the big IF word

30% of sun readers who voted went for labour.

The age at which there are more Tory voters than labour is 47. Hardly spring chickens.

Working people voted Labour. Retirees voted Tory.

What also jumps out May got ,more votes than than Thatcher
Polled 13.7 million votes compared to 11.3 million votes two years ago when they secured 330 seats and 10.7 million in 2010.

Only 1.7 % less than the Thatcher big win in 1979 election , Tories trounced Labour, gaining 63 seats, hit 339 ,majority of 43.

Turnout yesterday was the highest for 25 years at 68.7 per cent, up from 65.8 per cent in 2015 and 65.5 per cent five years earlier.

It means more people voted yesterday than in any election since 1992, when 33.6 million people voted and installed John Major’s Tories in Government.

Turnout was the highest proportion since the 1997 Election .

Allegedly 18-24 years old's voter was a huge 72 per cent , increase from the 43 per cent who turned out in 2015, as we know they grow older and vote Tory in the end as they become more stable in life and more to worry about

Turnout for last June’s EU referendum was 72.2 per cent.

Love this one is great :Tony Blair’s New Labour swept to power with a 418 seats and a 179-seat majority

18-24 turn out was not 72%. Not sure where that stat has come from but it is far from accurate.
The overall turnout was less than that and 18-24 was the least likely to turn out.

How old are you?

I think most people reach those conclusions a long time before 50 don't they?
