To ask those who voted labour.. How old are you?

[HCantThinkOfAUsername]

Not posting this to start a massive politics debate I'm just interested in the above question.

I voted labour, I put something about it on social media and a few older people have commented saying I obviously don't have "brains or life experience as them" & "young ones voting labour don't know what they are getting themselves in for".

I'm hoping I'll be proved wrong.
Not that it matters but I'm late 20s and those who made these comments range between 50-60.

Hope this doesn't come across as ageist, it's not my intention at all

27

31. I've always voted Labour and I'm a member of the party.

62. DH is 59. We both voted Labour and so did all of our friends. Really irritated with the media constantly telling everyone that our generation always votes Conservative.

Early 40s for DH and I. DD 18 voted labour too

22. Also seen lots of 'people need life experience' comments. Guess having a child, being a single parent, going to uni full time whilst also working and being a single parent to said child isn't enough life experience for some people

68 and 70 - we both voted Labour.

There is some sense of morality an fairness behind their policies. The Tories are morally bankrupt. Can it be right that some people get an annual bonus bigger than the amount some earn in a lifetime?

Both my husband and I are 36. I've voted in every election since I was 18 - I always used to vote Lib Dem, but switched to Labour recently.

The vast majority of my friends voted Labour, and they range from mid-20s to late 50s.

51. I've voted Labour pretty much every time I've voted.

Once Lib-Dem in the European elections when a friend was standing, but otherwise always been a Labour voter.

38 here.

Me, DH, my in laws and my grandparents voted labour.

28, 29, 50, 55, 84, 85

36, DH 35, DB 38

First time I have ever voted Labour. I'm 44. DH 45. I voted that way because i care about education, the NHS, social care (or lack of) and the ever increasing inequality in society. My very elderly GPs (90's) also voted labour.

We are low to average earners, we work bloody hard but have nothing to show for it. Still renting. However we are aware that there are people in worse situations than us - I see children in school who are not nourished, clothed and housed properly. I see homeless people (many of whom are ex Forces) in our local town. Food banks are always looking for donations, which I'm happy to give even though we are on basics ourselves.

We as a country should be ashamed that people are living this way. It's unforgiveable.

29. My dad did too. He's 60 in October.

I'm very nearly 40, and DP is 45.

43. Partner 48 - shed loads of life experience between us

Me, my mum and nan all voted for labour we're 31, 52 and 85.

47 in the past I've voted green as they are prob most in tune with my values, but ultimately I want change and labour offer the best hope for a positive future.

I am 37. DH is 38, he also voted Labour. My brothers are 34 and 30, they also voted Labour. DH's sisters are 43 and 46, and they voted Labour and Green. My parents are 65 and 69, voted Labour. DILs are 77 and 76 and they are lifelong members of the Labour Party, do leafleting/canvassing etc. My fave uncle is 62 and he voted Labour. Lots of age and experience between us!

49. I have shit loads of life experience. And brains

So quite a standard Bell curve there, Lana.

Did anyone post the equivalent question asking about Tory votes? Or Brexit? And, if I am being picky, a self selected sample of proud Labour voters isn't a statistically viable slice of life sample.
