There are others that I could think of, but I would imagine that those are some of the names that are on the lips of many people right now.
It's really a case of what do you want out of your political career at this point?
I think for younger MPs like Jack Rankin and Katie, the fact is they don't have as much baggage as maybe some of these other names I'm mentioning.
So if they jump ship, they could authentically be included in the reform movement in perhaps a way that some of these other older heads can't.
So I would be looking for some of the younger ones who perhaps see a future in politics for the next 10, 15 years.
And then maybe some like Sweller who naturally align with reform's message.
Well, it's splitting into what I would consider to be a slightly more extreme left and right divide.
I think it would be foolish to say that, you know, reform is dominating with the youth because that's not true.
There is still a very, very strong contingent of left wing voters, particularly at university age.
They are going further to the left.
They're not satisfied with the Labour Party.
And quite frankly, if I was on the left, neither would I be because the Labour Party has drifted too far towards commercial interests to be of interest to generalists.
be of interest to old school Labour voters.
So it's perfectly positioned itself to be the land of never.
And so younger voters are turning more to parties like the Greens, perhaps in some cases like the Lib Dems, and then of course, Nigel.
But there is a big gender disparity still in that age group.
So young men are more likely to vote right leaning towards Nigel and young women tend to vote more to the left.
So that's kind of where we see the
is in the gender divide.
Where do I think that generation will go?
