In countries from the US to Japan, to South Korea to Germany, young men and women are growing apart politically. Now, new polling work commissioned by Onward and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation finds that the same is happening in the UK. We are joined by the FT’s John Burn-Murdoch and the Telegraph’s Poppy Coburn to discuss this phenomenon and what it means for British society and politics if young men and women continue to drift apart.
