Young people turn to the Greens and the BNP:

First-time voters feel distant from Blairism: 85 per cent do not agree that Labour “shares my values”, and only 16 per cent believe that Labour has policies “relevant for people of my age”. Nearly nine in ten disagree with the statement that Labour is “honest and principled”.

 

But this disillusionment with Labour has not benefited the other main parties. Some 18 per cent say they would vote Labour, 16 per cent the Tories and 12 per cent the Liberal Democrats. But 28 per cent say they would back other parties, notably the Greens on 8 per cent and the British National Party on 6 per cent. A quarter say they would not vote at all.

Funny you should say that. Taken from this very forum...

 

There is an election coming up....my dilemma is deciding who i should actually vote for?

 

All I do know is that I would never vote BNP because of their websites like Redwatch and the violent and intimidating attacks by some BNP supporters on some Jewish friends of mine when I lived in North London which is the reason I have left them out of the poll, nor I do wish to discuss this or BNP further on this thread, thankyou.

If .....

 

18% say they will vote Labour, and

16% say they vote Tory, and

12% say they will vote Lib-Dem, and

8% say they will vote Green, but only

6% say they will vote BNP

 

....how did you manage to extrapolate from these figures that "Young people turn to the Greens and the BNP", when, clearly, they are not doing so?

 

At best - this is another example of BNP wishful thinking; and at worst - yet another example of BNP spin.

I've courteously avoided commenting on Green Web's rigged poll and rambling analysis so maybe it would be an idea not to bring it up here?

It's not my spin, it's Peter Riddell's. This was the headline of the article:

 

"Teenagers run from arms of Labour, but not to the Tories"

 

The significant point is that parties such as the Greens and the BNP are parties of the future whereas as Labour and their Tory and Liberal chums are parties of the past.

Perhaps you have, out of courtesy, avoided this too

Do agree with your chums that there will be a civil war soon and you need to stockpile a cache of private weapons?

As a young person i would agree, i don't think many of the young vote, it's a pity that only the groups with substantial amounts of money can attemp to run a democracy. Shame

Do you think these type of people would make younger voters be more inclined to vote in elections?

At least you've admitted it was spin.

You don't have to taken in by spin though!

The National Front were saying the same in the 1970's with roughly the same level of support - although I recall they were somewhat better organised than the BNP.

 

Where are they now?

 

In the '80's the SDP where all the rage with the liberal media and were seen as the "future" by lots of people - what happened to them?

The SDP may have lost the battle but they won the argument. Owen et al recognised before most of the other members labour party that socialism is unelectable. They were really before their time as they were the fore runners of new labour.

 

Sorry for going off topic.

ROY JAMES I INSIST YOU STOP HIDING AND TELL US THE REAL REASON YOU LEFT SHEFFIELD BNP.

 

I have mentioned this twice now and you have totally avoided the question and for someone usually so vocal I'm surprised at your ability to ignore this.

 

I look forward to your reply
