‘Election 2015: support for Ukip among Gen Y voters doubles in a year: Think younger voters don’t like Nigel Farage? Think again’. If, as many people do, you failed to read beyond the headline and sub-headline of this Guardian article, you would be forgiven to think that a majority of young people vote UKIP, or at the very least that they would take a consequent share of the vote. You would also be forgiven to think that UKIP is the party rising most within Gen Y voters.
Yet if your patience extends to the third paragraph, you will find out that UKIP doubling their support within Gen Y means that the party could increase its share of the vote from 2.4% to 5.5% - hardly worthy of a headline, let alone one suggesting that the young are flogging to UKIP.
