68% of young people would vote to stay in EU according to twitter poll

Thoughts?

That figure is probably not far off but can we please not use a Reece Douglas poll with 219 votes

[Anaesthesia]

What percentage of young people responded...what percentage of young voters using twitter and following politically active sites...what percentage of young voters voting. I would like those as qualifiers for a start.

Good.

I want to stay. I see more benefits staying. It's hard enough buying things now but.if we leave it reckon a regular 3 bed house will be close to 1m.

Lucky for those who have houses now but someone in their 20s, no stable job and no house... I may as well be homeless

Of every 10 young people of under 20 I have discussed the EU issue with,around 6 are in favour of staying in.
Of those under 18,aged 15,16 and 17,the figure is more like 7 to 8 out of every 10.

I do fear that David Cameron may yet massively regret not allowing 16 and 17 years olds to vote in this referendum.

Young people don't vote.

[Crimson Dynamo]

The reason for this is that young people in general think it means Britain coming out of Europe! - like somehow geographically

:umm2:


and not just the club that is the European Union





I would like to ask those "twitter young people" - imagine that Britain was not in the EU, what is it about the EU that is so attractive that you want us to join?

Bit irrelevant when the voting turnout amongst the under-30s is so tragic.

[*mazedsalv**]

I actually think more younger people will vote than before this time. I hope so anyway. There's a lot of talk between the early-mid 20s about voting. Hope that translates.
