Default Voter registration soaring - mostly the young

150,000 people have registered to vote since Monday, with the majority of
them being young (under 45s). So, if that keeps up through the next few
weeks, the demographics at the next (very imminent) general election will
be somewhat more considerably left-leaning and remain-leaning than even in
GE2017, particularly so when you factor in the €śnatural wastage€ť of older
right/leave voters.

Looks like Boris goose is cooked. Change is coming.


If youd attended a proper Uni, youd know why this happens at this time of
year.

Hint: students go off to Uni soon. They register to vote in their Uni town.
They can even be registered in two places, provided they only vote in one.
As can those with second homes ;-)

Why is anyone over 18 not already registered, it is a legal requirement.

A few may have a valid reason but hardly a significant number.

Still, you only did Intermediate Maths so the sums are probably beyond you.
