Dr Stuart Fox from @exeterpolitics discusses the Reform Party and the "bro" vote in this article news.sky.com/story/something…

'Something remarkable is happening with Gen-Z' - is Reform UK winning the 'bro vote'?

Reform was quick to engage with a younger audience on TikTok - racking up more than 300,000 followers - more than any other major political party. But is it enough to capture the 'bro vote'?

"These findings show that citizens find it difficult to settle on a choice in first-past-the-post elections with multiple parties on offer. The electoral system was never meant to accommodate these numerous parties" - @_HannahBunting from @exeterpolitics theconversation.com/low-turn…

Low turnout in the 2024 election may have been due to undecided voters being overwhelmed by choice

With so many parties on offer, voters are overwhelmed by choice – and many are simply staying home.
