If you voted Tory, how old are you?

Arguing with DH.

I think most Tory voters are, ahem, older.

He thinks they have appealed to younger voters this time.

If you don't want to reveal your actual age, let's say below 35 is "young" and above 35 is...."above".

Thx

Me - 36 & dh - 39.

CaveMum · 12/05/2010 07:13

I'm 29 (was 28 when I vote!) and DH is 34. We both voted Tory.

MrsJohnDeere · 11/05/2010 21:34

Me 38
Dh 39

[didn't vote for them but]

I assume there will be a lot of under 30s who voted Tory. If I were 20 years younger I might well have been among them I suppose.

36
dh 44.

i was 17 when labour won in 97 so have spent my adult life under labour.

KEAWYED · 11/05/2010 16:54

31 i have always voted for them

scaryteacher · 11/05/2010 16:52

Dh is 49, dm is 69 and I am 44. I have voted Tory since I was 18.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 11/05/2010 16:00

I'm 33 and DH is 40. Others members of the family who voted Tory are aged as follows.

65
41
38
37
36
33
27
26

Pretty wide spread of ages - and we are historically a Labour voting family.

Alouiseg · 11/05/2010 15:47

I'm 40.

Time for a blue rinse and a tweed skirt

SirBoobAlot · 08/05/2010 19:28

A lot of my friends (18/19) did. Some of them have been Tory supporters for a while (there was quite an emphasis on politics at my secondary school, with a varied affect - some are Tory, some are Green!) and some decided upon a lot of research that was where their best interests lay.

BertieBotts · 08/05/2010 18:34

Oh and one friend my age who voted conservative because everyone in his family always has, but I guess that is different.

BertieBotts · 08/05/2010 18:32

A few of my friends my age (21/22) voted for them, and have been quite vocal on FB saying "Why does everyone hate the tories so much, they have good policies!" and
"Everyone just hates them because they are 'posh' or because of what happened years ago" and
"Someone needs to sort out what labour have done to this country"

Most of my friends my age (including me) voted LD though.

AvaGoOnTheSwingometer · 08/05/2010 18:27

*old. ALthough they are all pretty odd too

VengefulKitty · 08/05/2010 18:26

I didn't but I know my 18yo cousin did as well his parents.

According to FB, many of his friends also did the same.

From all the people I know and can see it was a LD/Con split across all ages.

AvaGoOnTheSwingometer · 08/05/2010 18:24

I'm 36 and my friends who voted Tory are 44, 36, 24 and 30 years odd.

beccas · 08/05/2010 18:22

34
Trouble is where I live, its so blue, it wouldn't make any difference. I wanted to vote Lib Dem where I live because the fella was local and active. We had the dodgy Derek Conway before so the new Blue chap doesn't even live here, but he got a very safe seat.
But I didn't want to vote for Nick Clegg as leader of the country.
Our politics system is all wrong

KRH · 08/05/2010 18:18

29 and hubby is 34. (oh and we live in Lib Dem/SNP heartland in Scotland too!)

NomDePlume · 08/05/2010 18:18

I didn;t vote for them. DH did. He is 41.

Our seat went from red to blue . Our new (Tory) MP is 32 years old.

peanutbear · 08/05/2010 18:12

34 and m not posh Im a single mom

IagreewithNick · 08/05/2010 18:12

I don't know anyone younger than me, I am in my mid thirties, who openly admits to voting Tory and I am in a Tory heartland.
