We obsess over the angry young men going Reform. But what of the anxious young women going Green? | Gaby Hinsliff

Almost a quarter of women aged 18 to 24 voted Green last July , roughly double the number of young men who voted Reform.

While the big parties chased avidly after so-called Waitrose women, well-heeled home counties matrons considering defecting from the Tories , they had little to say to their daughters.

So it was the Greens who ended up cornering the market in a certain kind of frustrated gen Z voter.

The gap between gen Z men and women is likely to grow, with consequences not just for politics but for the lives they may end up living alongside each other.

The failure even to be curious about what it is young women are trying to say, just because their revolt against the mainstream takes a less aggressive or destructive form than young Reformers’, feels profoundly unfair.
