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 Blush

I voted labour 25 almost 26 as did my parents (50) my sister &a partner (28,32) my husband 30, several colleagues ranging from 20-60 ish.
I also know several people who voted Tory and their age range was pretty much the same.

50

DH is 70 and my step daughter and her partner both 27

We all voted labour and I've been a member of the party since I was 18 (it was an 18th birthday present from my then boyfriend).

It's just another way in which the right wing press and other rabid Tories (not all btw) to belittle labour supporters. Remember the champagne socialist label?

In my family Labour voters were 38, 39, 40, 34, 46, 38 again, 69, 69, and 68 - from friends of a similar age, with parents of a similar age we don't seem unusual in that sense. DS is 17 and would have voted Labour had he been old enough.

I'm quite keen to keep the NHS and I'm a teacher so it was a no brainer!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 10/06/2017 13:02

Nearly 40 and DH is 60. Both voted Labour.

GreenRut · 10/06/2017 13:06

Everyone in my family voted labour, and we range from 32 to nearly 70. There were very good social justice reasons for voting for them but ultimately we are born and bred Labour voters- it would take an awful lot for us not to vote for them, and even then it would be a cold day in hell before any one of us voted Conservative.

DH and I both voted labour and we are early 40s.

I was going to vote lib dem as I have been dissapointed in JC''s performance in opposition but he has really won me over during this election. I only hope that he will now stand up in opposition.
