Further to yesterday's post on the Ipsos Mori poll that gave the SNP a whopping 52% of the vote in the upcoming general election, a breakdown of voting intention by age group has appeared over at SCOT goes POP! It makes for fascinating reading:
55+
41% SNP
31% Lab
18% Con
7% Lib
25-54
58% SNP
21% Lab
10% Con
7% Green
4% Lib
18-24 yrs
77% SNP
11% Lab
7% Scottish Socialist
4% Green
Put it this way: if all these voters were to retain these allegiances (unlikely, I know, but let's run with it for the time being), the Conservative Party would literally be extinct within a couple of generations. If that's not a reason to have hope for the future, I don't know what is!
