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

Most of the Labour supporters I know are between 45 and 65. Plenty of life experience- including experience of disability, serious illness, dealing with sick or disabled children, putting children through state school, unexpected job loss etc etc.

I know quite a few people who were young Conservatives until they got families of their own and realised how fragile life is.

Oh and in the context of recent development, some of us are also old enough to remember what NI was like before the Good Friday agreement.

Late 50's. Family members aged from 30's to 60's all voted labour.

My family voted labour. Ages 18, 21, 23, 33, 35, 40, 49, 51, 61, 72.
All ranges of income, two being in the higher tax band (not me unfortunately).
It wasn't even anything that was discussed until after we'd all voted.

Late 20's, although both my parents and inlaws voted labour too and they're all in their 60s.

I'm 39 and duh 36. My 70 year old FIL also voted labour for the first time ever. He always voted conservative without thinking too much about it, just thought it was the "thing to do". But the brexit vote horrified him and since then he's done a lot more thinking and reading and become quite a corbynite!

I'm 40. I have 3 friends that told me they voted labour, they are 41, 45 and 40. My mother is 75 and my uncle is 70, they both voted labour as well.

45 dh 47 both voted labour, both have degrees and employed, it's about caring about more than yourself not lack of life experience or intelligence. xx

I'm 32.

31. My mum, traditionally Tory, 64, brother 29. Hth

47. DH is 49.

You saw it on here too. Constant patronising of Labour voters on threads assuming they were too young or assuming they're all claiming benefits, poor, unemployed etc. It was very boring.

40. I've no idea who my husband or family voted for.

31 and my mum and her partner (early 60s) did as well

I'm 51.

We're supposedly in the top 5%.

Proud to vote Labour - #ForTheMany

61 - and my mother who is 84 also voted labour.

Mum - 71
Step dad - 54
Ex husband - 51
Ex 's new partner - 52
Sister - 50
Ex army BIL - 52
Me - 47

hth :D

I'm late 20s and have also seen older people on social media suggesting we just haven't seen some kind of light yet.

If the 'light' is a final salary pension, paid off mortgage by 50 and no student loans, sorry but I'm never going to see it.

37. My parents in their 70s and 80s also voted Labour, as did my sister, early 40s. I'd go back to uni in a heartbeat in tuition fees were abolished or brought to a reasonable level. It's just so wrong that you have to decide on a career at 17, get saddled with debt for the sake of it and grimly persist day after day, year after year if you've made the wrong choice. People are living much longer now so should be able to retrain if they need to and a second massive chunk of student debt just isn't an option for most.

I'm 54 - I voted Labour for the first time (previously Lib Dem). DS (19) also voted Labour. We are in a very safe Tory seat so didn't have any impact, but I could not bring my self to vote for any of the other parties except possibly the Green Party

60 - life long Labour voter always will be

I'm 52 and a graduate.
Husband 52 Ph.D engineer and company director.
Parents 85 and 78.
In-laws both graduates 77 and 76.

Ok got down to 82 posts, and, only taking note of the ones who have given definite age range/person (so not the ones that say "lots of friends") I have got.....

Teens : 5
20s: 26
30s: 31
40s: 38
50s: 29
60s: 34
70s: 20
80s: 2

I'd say that was an pretty interesting little poll there!

I'm 29, my brothers 20 and my mums 55 - all voted Labour.

43 husband did at 46, parents at 68 and 72. Son1 would have done but was 6 months too young :(
