      I know it’s spiteful, but I can never find it in me to vote Liberal after what happened with tuition fees. But I guess we’re talking about people so young that they have zero recall of that.

      Labour vote will be split between independents, Greens, LibDems and lots of small ultra leftwing communist/socialist parties, giving Reform the government in the next election.

      wow I can’t believe the strategy of pushing young voters away has resulted in pushing young voters away. more 4d chess political genius from centrist daddy.

      Shouldn’t have highjacked labour to turn them into Tories then. 

    5. If Libdems and Labour can work together I don’t care which one wins

      Tories and reform are dogshit

      I mean, this was always on the cards.

      What even the Labour Party seems to forget is that, for me and a lot of people my age, the big push to vote them in wasn’t about loyalty. It was about a lifetime under Conservatives who have consistently made things worse for us.

      We voted for change, not because we were blindly red the way some people are blindly blue because “it’s how they’ve always voted.” This neoliberal, austerity-fuelled government is not the change we were sold.

      So of course young voters are abandoning Labour in droves. You haven’t earned that loyalty yet. It honestly feels like, at this point, all a government would have to do to win over this generation for life is make us economically stable and self-sufficient.

      Whatever party finally lets me buy a house on me and my partner’s fairly modest income; I will probably vote for them for the rest of my life, horrific crimes notwithstanding.

      That’s just how it is.

      Can’t imagine why anyone would be willing to vote for any of the majority parties to be honest. It’s a least bad choice, and atm it’s probably lib dem, which is a wasted vote in my area, so… Back to labour.

    8. You can’t abandon a party outside an election. None of this matters until it’s proven at the polls in 4 years time.

    9. I can safely say as a trans person Starmer seriously shit the bed with LGBT voters. He should have sacked Wes Streeting months ago. He fucked it so badly a lot of pride festivals don’t even let you fly labour flags.

      It’s going to be really difficult to persuade queer voters not to vote Green next time around.

      Kier Starmer needs to stop desperately trying to get the votes of the people who will NEVER vote for him and concentrate on the people who would and have voted for him. That’s the biggest mistake he’s making

      It’s wild how short political memory can be, but then again, if all you’ve known is betrayal from both major parties, why *wouldn’t* you jump ship to someone new?

      Both Labour and Tories are now two branches of the Pensioner’s party.

      Retired person with 35,000 annual income -> gets winter fuel allowance.

      Working person with 35,000 annual salary -> gets jack shit

      Retired person gets a triple locked pension adjusted for inflation every year.

      Working person gets tax brackets frozen for 5+ years while inflation-adjusted we’re all poorer than we were in 2019.

      Why exactly should young people support either of these parties? And where exactly does Labour help working people?

    13. ECCO_flint on

      Don’t worry young people don’t generally vote anyway. They’re too busy touching each other’s pp’s.

      I wouldn’t vote for the Lib Dems if I was paid to. I hope Nick Clegg rots. Made a ball of promises and then dropped his trousers and spread his cheeks for Cameron.

    15. psrandom on

      Easy way for Labour to tackle this, bring in ranked choice voting

    16. GobshiteExtra on

      The splintering of the left and the rise of fascism. Whopdy fucking do.

    17. treemanos on

      The ypung left were always going to demand impossible things and get upset when they don’t get them, people just aren’t serious anymore.

      Reform about to swoop in like Orange man did in the US. This is beyond fucked.
