A recent survey by YouGov shows that the British youth overwhelmingly chooses to vote for the Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn against the Conservative party under Theresa May.





Perhaps the most interesting feature here is that the power of the Conservatives grows linearly with the age of the voters, which shows the gap between younger generations and the older ones. The younger would like to see Corbyn's socialist policies implemented, to drive UK forward against neoconservatism and neoliberalism. On the contrary, the older remain conservative and unwilling to see real changes.





This is clearly depicted:





Age

18-24 25-49 50-64 65+ Conservative 22 31 45 67 Labour 59 48 32 19





We see a similar picture here with the primary elections of the Democrats in the US, where the American youth supported massively Bernie Sanders and managed to boost his power against Hillary Clinton. When the establishment saw his power grow rapidly, the DNC itself decided to get him out of the game.





Various polls in the UK show a bigger gap between Conservatives and the Labour, but all show that the gap is closing significantly as we approach the election day. Will Jeremy Corbyn manage to make the surprise, despite the war against him from the establishment and the media?
