92% of Left-wing activists live with their parents.

One in three are unemployed.

I know it's from the Daily Fail, but it's still interesting if correct, and not that surprising.

And have they done a similar survey on right-wing activists? If they did, then you'd be able to tell if this is associated with leftism of being millennial.

It depends on what you define left wing activists. Lib Dems are left wing by the standards of the paper that supported the Blackshirts.

I'm really surprised that number isn't higher.

33% unemployment doesn't necessarily mean 67% are employed; definitions vary, but usually (AFAIK) it just means 33% of them don't have jobs AND are actively looking for a job.

Fair point. I suppose some chunk of them will consider work an odious capitalist tool of oppression, and thereby justify spending their days doing nothing at all.
