💨 Abstract
The British government's decision to lower the voting age to 16 before the next general election, while supported by some, is largely seen as a desperate strategy. Labour's Keir Starmer aims to win over 16 and 17-year-old voters, believing they'll support Labour. However, this move might backfire, especially as Nigel Farage and his Reform UK party gain significant traction among young men on social media platforms, particularly TikTok.
