First-time voters A YouGov survey of first-time voters for British Future reveals that while 3.3 million will have the chance to vote for the first time at a general election in May 2015, only 41 per cent say they will definitely do so, meaning 2 million may not make it to the ballot box. First-time voters are far more likely to support Labour than the other parties, with 41 per cent saying they will back Ed Milibands party, compared with 22 per cent who will vote for the Conservatives. Ukip is in third place with 10 per cent, ahead of the Liberal Democrats and Greens, on 8 per cent each. Ukip supporters say immigration is the most important issue facing the country, but first-time voters do not agree: the economy, unemployment and education matter more to them. - Bradford Labour, Bradford South Clp, Hyndburn Labour, Keighley LabourLabour, Labour Brent, Labour Leicester, Labour London, Stalybridge Labour
