Labour is losing young voters to the Greens – because of Starmer
How tragically revealing.
Admittedly this has to come with the caveat that the pollster is the Tory-run organisation YouGov.
However, the size of the numbers suggests there’s something in this.
They show that Labour’s share of the 18-24-year-old vote has plummetted by 21 points (from 56 per cent to 35 per cent). It seems all those voters have gone to the Green Party.
There’s a good reason for that…
Labour has spent the last year calling their voters racist, idiots and losers.
This is a glimpse of the future for what now looks like a permanently dysfunctional party. https://t.co/O9qF7S7aIe

Turns out, if you suspend Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party, abandon all his policies, throw Palestinians under the bus, and pander to flag-shaggers, you lose the youth vote.

Let’s be honest. We can name the reason in two words:
Keir Starmer.

I’m 58 and I left Labour and joined the Greens. I consider myself reasonably far left. Greens are the best national party on offer in Northampton now (although the local CLP does have a lot of good socialists, who I voted for in the local elections)
As I’ve always said, Right Wing Thinkers being self-centred are only capable of looking inwards which leads to regressive rather than progressive results.
This is why the caring, forward looking,creative left get things done when not degraded or manipulated by the Right Wing members like Starmer.
Look at the Tories who spend the biggest part of their time on scheming ways of how to fleece the public and the remainder of their time making excuses for the last schemes that back-fired.
I’m 63. I defected to the Greens the instant Starmer lied his way into leadership.
