Jeremy Clarkson For Prime Minister? Young People Prefer Top Gear Presenter Over Farage And Clegg

Bad news for Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage - young people believe Jeremy Clarkson,Russell Brand and Alan Sugar would make better prime ministers.

The YouGov poll for the think-tank British Future found Ed Miliband topped the survey on 17%.

Ukip leader, Farage, gained a lowly 9% and poor old Clegg only managed 6%.

In contrast, Clarkson polled nearly double at 11% and Brand and Sugar both scored 12%.

In perhaps a stark illustration of the political apathy in the UK, 59% of young people do not intend to vote - extrapolated this amounts to two million people.

Labour leads the way with 40% of the youth vote followed by the Tories with 25% and Ukip with 12%.
