Half of young people have said they would never take up arms for Britain as more prioritise domestic issues such as the cost of living over global conflict.
A survey of 2,000 16-to 29-year-olds, called the Youth Poll and commissioned by the John Smith Centre at Glasgow University, found that young people express “cautious internationalism,” with concerns about global conflict and scepticism towards military action, and that interviewees believe contemporary wars to be pointless or politically driven.
