Recent polling and surveys reveal a growing political divide between young women and men in Britain, with young women increasingly leaning toward left wing parties and young men showing more support for right wing options. At the last general election, Labour was the most popular choice among both sexes, but young women showed stronger support for the Green Party, while young men were more likely to vote for Reform or the Conservatives.

Experts suggest that factors such as higher education, social media influence, and attitudes toward gender roles are contributing to this split. While both young men and women are drifting away from traditional party loyalties, the divide is most pronounced at the more radical ends of the political spectrum.

Political parties are responding to these trends, with Reform launching campaigns to attract more female voters and left wing parties gaining traction among young women seeking progressive change. Researchers note that the gender generation gap in politics is widening, reflecting broader societal shifts and challenges faced by young people.
