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

30, DH 31, usually Tory voters but couldn't do it this time and live with ourselves.

53 next week. I work in education.

I am 43 and a Corbyn supporter / Labour voter.
I am also university educated and have a professional job.
I don't think I am lacking in life experience nor didn't understand what I was voting for. I read the Labour manifesto and believe it offered the best way forward for British society as a whole.

People who probably voted Labour would have been:
potential uni students
Uni graduates that are now in £27000 debt
Student Drs
All NHS staff
All police
All teachers in state ed
Young intelligent people
Elderly people who expect their National Insurance to be spent on their care
People who value human rights

So probably quite a range of ages actually.

Mumsnet demographic will be here won't they.

DH is 53, I'm 49, DS is 26, DIL is 26, DS is 18

I've never voted Labour, always voted Lib Dem until this year

62 - Labour, as I always have been.

49, work in HE. Lifelong Labour supporter and union rep.

Am 50. Have only voted Labour in General elections but have voted Plaid or Lib Dem in the Welsh Assembly elections.

I'm 40. Most of my friends are late 30s - early 50s and most voted Labour.

One guy I know wasn't going to vote, but was persuaded it was worthwhile, so he voted for Mr FishFinger . He's mid 40s.

32, always vote Labour

I'm 27.

But DMwho is 56 voted labour and believe my GPS who are 75-80 did too.

Mid 50s.
OH is a few years younger, also voted Labour.

In our family, 19, 19, 21, 24, 52, 54, 54, 60, 78, 79.

So a fair range.

Mid 30's

YANBU I'm 42, dp 39. First time voting labour for both of us because we genuinely believe in Corbyn and his views. We've taken the same shit from, shall we say... older people (60+) and despite us both being very politically aware have been told by said people that we're brainwashed, uneducated, don't know what we're talking about etc too! It's so fucking patronising! The bit that annoys me most is that these are the same people who constantly say they are 'attacked' for their own views when they clearly are not. I was in my teens when we lived through all of Ireland's troubles at their worst and went off to the first Iraq war and my parents were brilliant at giving me the facts and letting me make my own mind up, despite having their own opinions and as I got older I have always looked at both sides of a situation before deciding. I think a lot of my generation are sick of war, fighting and things generally not getting better and I want more than that for our DD. Unfortunately the type of people you are referring to see socialism as a dirty word and hate any and everything that believes in peace. I always vote with a direction for the future in mind rather than for right now. You make whatever vote you believe is right for you and the future you want and anyone who tells you it's wrong is a bully, discussion is fine but ime these people don't want discussion they want to try to belittle you. xx

Mid fifties always voted Labour
Dd & Ds both mid thirties voted Labour
Dh late fifties voted Labour but has in past lib dem
My parents & in laws lifelong labour supporters.

42, DH 45, higher rate tax payers and first time DH voted Labour (I pretty much always do!)

66

Meant to add DH has his own medium-sized (80 employees) company so should fit Tory demographic but he's appalled at May's cuts to NHS and Education. It's not just young people voting Labour.
