Incredible graph shows just how much trouble Tories and Labour are really in
A major new poll has uncovered a dramatic shake-up in youth voting intentions that could spell serious trouble for both the Tories and the Labour party ahead of the next general election. As the government prepares to lower the voting age to 16, a survey of over 1,100 teenagers by the think tank More in Common for The Sunday Times reveals that 21% of 16 and 17-year-olds say they would back Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s movement, Your Party. This new contender would drastically reduce Labour’s lead among these young voters cutting the party’s support from 30% to 24%, and creating a near three-way tie with Reform UK, which stands at 23%.

Jeremy Corbyn’s new party would split teen vote, poll reveals
Jeremy Corbyn’s new left-wing party would all but eliminate Labour’s lead among 16 and 17-year-olds, a new poll showed — just as Sir Keir Starmer prepares to hand them the vote.
More than one in five 16 and 17-year-olds would vote for Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s movement at the next election, creating a three-way tie with Labour and Reform for the youth vote.
Luke Tryl, the director of More in Common, said: “It seems the fragmentation of politics is not limited to adults. This poll of more than one thousand 16 and 17-year-olds shows that Corbyn’s new party, Reform UK and Labour would be in a virtual three-way tie among this group of soon-to-be voters.”
