NATIONWIDE POLLING HAS has found that young voters are most likely going to give a first-preference vote to Sinn Féin in the European elections this coming June. However, the majority of young voters expressed a much stronger, more negative view on the EU’s performance on Israeli-Palestinian relations. When asked to rank the EU’s performance on the Israel-Gaza conflict, the bloc scored a 1.8 with the young voters. About 29% of 18-34-year-olds intend to vote for one of the three Government political parties, a combined number still behind Sinn Féin’s 30%. Those who were unsure of which party they’d vote for, or unsure if they’d vote at all, are excluded from the figures.
