That is a head scratcher. I’d love to see the demographic breakdown of that 7m as the tories have always had the senior vote.
It could be worrying if there is a new generation of them coming through.
“…children cited education (22%) as the policy area that influenced their vote the most, followed by health (18%) and climate and environment (18%). 16% named the cost-of-living and 12% safety. Immigration and refugees held the least sway, on 8%. “
That last sentence is very encouraging.
