Big Brother wins the vote
More young Brits have voted in reality TV shows than are likely to vote at the next general election, according to a survey.
The YouGov survey for the Daily Telegraph found fewer than 42% of first-time voters think they will vote in the election.
Yet 46% said they had already voted for contestants in shows such as Big Brother and Pop Idol.
The 18- to 22-year-olds, who make up nearly a 10th of the electorate, seemed to have little interest in party politics.
More than half claim not to know what a "constituency" is and nearly half said they had no idea who would make the best prime minister.
Homerisms(41) = "Lord, I know I shouldn't eat Thee, but ... (munch munch munch) mmm ... sacrelicious."
