Explain and analyse three factors that can influence voting behaviour.

https://youtu.be/f3MuTNFVel8 Introduction Statement= address the question and the topics mentioned in your answer. Making sure to analyse the focus point and explain its meaning. Voting behaviour is a form of electoral behaviour; political scientists make predictions concerning voting behaviour based on social factors such as age, social class and race. In modern elections voting behaviour has played a significant part in looking at how certain areas of society will cast their vote.    Address your first point. Make sure you use the question to get your answer and use an up to date examples. Age can be seen to be an important issue when looking at the factors that influence voting behaviour, this is because the younger voters tend to be attracted to left wing policies. Churchill states that: 'if your not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain', this explains that due to still being in education or being new to the workplace young voters gain a party-loyalty to the labour or more liberal parties.  However, looking at the 2017 election results, only 35% of 18-29 year old's voted. This gives the idea that the young are less likely to turn out for elections and therefore it can be seen that even though the young align with liberal parties it doesn't mean they will vote. Although with, 66% of young voters voting labour and only 19% voting conservative, it can be seen that the labour party rely on the young vote significantly. Therefore, it can be seen that the young vote is significant when explaining and analysing the influence of voting behaviour because of the party loyalty seen. Repeat the structure for your other two points. Close with an ending sentence defying why you think it's significant.
