The most intriguing graphic from GE2017 so far. Why?

The only employment status to vote more for the Tories than for Labour was Retired.

Working Britain is being over-ruled by the old. Who’s being silenced? The young!

Every young person who doesn’t vote compounds the problem. Don’t be that person. Don’t let your friends be that person.

We will be living in this country long after the retired have passed on. 

Keep on fighting. Keep the momentum. Keep shouting until young voices are heard.

Young Voters UK aims to educate the electorate.

We deserve better than a government chosen by Murdoch.

Just how big a difference did you make in GE2017?

This graphic, shared by @williamjordann, shows a significant disconnect between the intentions of young and old voters. We already knew that young voters overwhelmingly supported Remain in the Brexit referendum, and now a very similar trend is seen in the election results: the majority of young people voted for Labour.

We’re certainly not saying the hung parliament was entirely the result of increased youth turnout, but there’s no denying that we as an age group have suddenly moved up the priority lists of politicians everywhere. We mean something now. We’re an engaged group of voters with an almost universal political identity. 

We’re a very big fish and, should Corbyn slip up, we’re seemingly ready to be caught.

New slogan and first look at the new posters.

Unfortunately, ‘building an informed electorate through education’ just didn’t roll off the tongue so easily.
