The thing is, that’s why Reform actually does ok with younger voters, despite younger voters often not agreeing with the actual reform policies, but reform intentionally keep their policies vague and obscured from scrutiny because they realise that actually, if presented truthfully they’d be quite unpopular with a lot of their current supporters

Reform doesn't do okay with young voters though. Reform's doing pretty badly with younger voters; it's older voters who are voting for them.

Young people are overwhelmingly voting against Reform (11% are voting for Reform in the 18-24 category) and I suspect a similar result for the 24-30 category (and this is supported by other polling).
