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.

Latest YouGov poll suggests voter turnout among 18-24s much lower than expected.
This is likely as a result of the inflated figure touted by the Metro, which was in fact referencing estimated turnout in Tottenham alone (around 72%).
Turnout figures are still way up on the 2015 general election.
What the figures suggest is that progress has been made, but much work remains to really bring young voters into the political conversation.
If you want to be part of a movement seeking to do just that, check us out on our blogorour Twitter. We’re always looking for volunteers to join our team as content writers, researchers, campaigners, designers, campus reps. Come say hi!
