1/ Class used to be the dividing line in British politics, but is no longer a reliable indicator of how people vote https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/04/25/demographics-dividing-britain/ …pic.twitter.com/2ATiv5BEXG
2/ AGE is the new political dividing line - for every 10yrs older a voter is, their chance of voting Tory goes up 8% https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/04/25/demographics-dividing-britain/ …pic.twitter.com/0MOVlFgJDu

3/ Gender is less of an issue for the Conservatives than it was https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/04/25/demographics-dividing-britain/ …pic.twitter.com/lIcyokES1E

4/ Education is another key indicator: the more educated a person is the more likely they are to vote Labour/Lib Dem https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/04/25/demographics-dividing-britain/ …pic.twitter.com/zffRHxikV8

5/ The Conservatives are still the party of the rich, but Labour trail 13pts behind the Tories among the poorest https://yougov.co.uk/news/2017/04/25/demographics-dividing-britain/ …pic.twitter.com/IS2uQUtLgG

The poorest have no idea who you are. The idea that they are signed up with you is laughable. Same old Tories; always lying.
-
What do you mean the poorest have no idea who they are?
-
I don't believe that the majority of the poor in our country would know who yougov are, much less be voting in their database.
-
That's not how polling works.

Looks like 34 should be the new voting age!
-
Yea, a max. Any older than that and you've lost too many brain cells.

If we stop paying tax at the same age, I support your idea.

Still passionate for social justice & moving steadily towards 70. Really dislike these categories that create intergenerational antagonism

That's always been the case. If young people stayed the same as they grew up,
#Labour wld always win. Thus the saying..."older but wiser".Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo -
Have you got similar graphs from 10/20/30 years ago. Is this trend is changing over time?

A shame they are voting for the lack of a social care system to support them.
