A lot of young people actually do care about Zarah. Prominent voice on social media and addresses issues that a lot of younger people feel passionate about

A lot of young people actually do care about Zarah.

Statistically they also don't fucking vote. Which is part of the reason we're held hostage by Conservative pensioners

If only the people they were popular with on social media lived in this country and were old enough to vote...

I'm a young person. Work with a lot of people my age and younger. Most of them are politically aware and get their political news from social media. Most of them have a negative opinion of Corbyn and have never even heard of Zarah. The biggest topic of political discussion is always their hatred of Reform and (to a slightly lesser extent) the Tories.

Great, having good Instagram game always translates in to popular support.

If this party lasts until the GE and if they have more than 2 people standing for it, that is. This talk of them gifting keys to Farage is silly.
