US EditionJeremy Corbyn’s new party would split teen vote, poll reveals
Jeremy Corbyn's new party, 'Your Party', appeals to over 20% of teen voters, reducing Labour's youth share by 6 points in a three-way tie including Reform UK, poll shows.
- A new poll for The Sunday Times revealed Jeremy Corbyn's Your Party would create a three-way tie among 16 and 17-year-old voters, with Labour at 24% and Your Party gaining over one in five votes.
- The Government last month confirmed plans to lower the voting age to 16, creating a freshly enfranchised demographic for parties to target, according to More in Common's survey of over 1,100 16 and 17‑year‑old voters for The Sunday Times.
- The poll also revealed a pronounced gender gap, with 45% of 16–17‑year‑old boys backing Reform UK or the Conservative Party versus 24% of girls, while Green Party support more than halved from 14% to 6%.
- National figures show the traditional two‑party vote has collapsed to 32% combined, while Nigel Farage's Reform UK leads national voting intention at 34%.
- He told GB News: "This poll is of people who are 16 now, but we're talking about a general election," and a Reform spokesman said enfranchising 16 and 17-year-old voters "may now just come back to bite them," while Luke Tryl, director of More in Common, warned youth fragmentation signals broader shake-ups.
