Young British women are voting Green and it’s reshaping the U.K.’s political gender divide. A new National Centre for Social Research report suggests young women in the U.K. are shifting further left politically than men. In the 2024 election, nearly a quarter of young women voted for the leftist Green Party—roughly double the number of young men who voted for the right-wing Reform party. And now, the report shows even more support for the Green Party among 18-24-year-old women: 44% intend to vote Green in the next election, compared to 30% of men the same age. This marks a major change in their voting patterns—the Green Party previously held just 2-4% of the young vote and the gender divide played out mainly between the Labour and Conservative Parties. Experts say this shift isn’t due to a sudden change in young women’s values. Instead, they link it to their feelings on recent political events, higher education, and traditional party loyalties weakening.
