YOU GOV POLLING AN AGE APART

You gov polling today shows a lead for Labour but when you look at the breakdown you can see a wide range between certain variables. Yesterday I did the split on Class A CLASS APART today I have looked at the age of voters.

Based on over 60 vote share.

National Prediction: CON majority 44

NAT2.26%92.26%1010
MIN0.89%10.89%001
OTH3.48%02.85%000

I think it shows how skewed the UK electoral system is. Even with a 10% lead for the Tories It hardly touches the Labour MPs

Now this is how the country would look if everyone voted like the 18-24 year olds

National Prediction: LAB majority 122
