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

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.

FFS, nothing happened, it didn't post. So so sorry!

29. I've not always voted labour but have never voted Tory.

Oh and my mum, 69, her partner, 73, mil 75 and fil 78, dsis 47, dh 45, dsil 40, db45. Dsill 47.

64 and have voted labour almost all my voting life.

I vote Labour. I'm 39.

I'm 63 and voted Labour, my husband's 70 and voted Conservative.

Has everyone adjusted their statistical analyses to account for the assertion that the majority of voters aged 18-24 won't be on Mumsnet, even less so on a Saturday morning? A very few maybe, but I think most have different fish to fry than reporting how they voted on Mumsnet.

age 53 voted Green

Mid 30's

41. Have voted Labour since my first vote in '97.

Family members who voted, inc me:

71
56
65
44
43
39
37
36
33
31

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

My DM is the same age as you and feels the same, Tamzin. I saw something on Facebook about calling your parents/grandparents to explain why they shouldn't vote Tory and thought it was pretty short sighted. My mum is the most anti-Tory person I know (miner's daughter) and all the women in their 60s that I work with are strongly anti Tory. More than a lot of young people, in fact.

Member of labour party and voted labour this time, didnt vote for jeremy corbyn as leader ( would have preferred Yvette cooper), age 46

I'm 48. Actually voted tactically so Lib Dem but I wanted to vote Labour. They were the party I wanted to win.

37. But partly I voted because its the first time I've been able to vote as my great aunt did. She died when I was 17 but we talked a lot about politics and she was staunchly old Labour & CND. In terms of life experience, she served in Germany during ww2, including being involved in the clean up of concentration camps afterwards. She then spent her entire career as a social worker. Plenty of life experience. And if it matters, personally financially secure. She'd have been 96 this year and would have utterly approved of Corbyn

My parents (50s) and grandparents (80s) also voted Labour.
To me, it has nothing to do with age and everything to do with values.

I'm 33 and 37 year old DH also voted labour

I'm 42 and OH is 39, we both voted Labour.

41, my 70 year old mother also voted Labour.

41

58, and OH is 65. We used to vote Lib Dem, but felt betrayed when they teamed up with the Tories, so it is Labour all the way now.

41, so did DP 44 and DM 66.
