Nigel Farage's Reform Party could reportedly benefit from Labour's proposal to lower the voting age to 16, a recent poll has claimed.

       According to the poll by J.L Partners, the primary polling for Daily Mail, almost a quarter of all votes from 16 and 17 year olds would vote Reform.

       The polling company found that 39 percent would back Labour if they were eligible to vote while 23 percent would vote Reform. The Greens would receive 18 percent of the votes, the Lib Dems nine percent, and the Tories a mere five percent.

       However, those who are more likely to have left home at 18 to 24 year-old, would be prefer to vote for the Labour Party, according to polling company Statista.

       Former No10 pollster James Johnson said: "The Reform surge seems to be on: with voters who can't yet vote. Nigel Farage's party is clearly cutting through with younger people, and especially young men.

       "Labour dominates amongst 16 and 17-year-olds overall, but Keir Starmer might want to be careful what he wishes for. By giving the vote to 16 year olds, he is handing Nigel Farage plenty of votes too."

       Johnson added: "One thing is for sure. Giving the vote to 16-17 year olds helps Labour lock the Conservatives out of power."

       Younger people - the least likely age group to vote for the Tory Party - have openly spoken out about how the party has failed them and their peers.

       Earlier this year, ITV's Youth Tracker released a poll by Savanta, which found that the lack of affordable housing is now seen as the most critical issue by young people alongside mental health concerns.

       Savanta's Chris Hopkins said: "Young people not voting Conservative is hardly a new problem, but the sheer scale of their disenfranchisement towards them is a ticking time bomb for the party.

       "All three of our Peston Youth Tracker polls have shown just one in seven young voters would back them, a trend that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon."
