150,000 people have registered to vote since Monday, with the majority of

be somewhat more considerably left-leaning and remain-leaning than even in
GE2017, particularly so when you factor in the €œnatural wastage€� of older
right/leave voters.


Lets examine that :

150k you say, but young voters tend to have low turnout, being generous,
say 60%, so only 90k actual votes - spread across 626 constituencies,
that's less than 150 each.

Then, not all of them will vote Labour - say 2/3rds which leaves Labour
with a net benefit of just 50 votes. Just 8 seats were won by that
margin in 2017, and only 2 of those were Tory, so that 150k really won't
make much difference at all...

Well see. The broad feeling amongst the newly-of-voting-age group seems to
be one of quite passionate politicisation, due to growing up through Tory
austerity, suffering under colossal university fees, disenfranchisement wrt
Brexit vote, fear at environmental collapse, and so on. These kids are
angry and now theyve got the vote we should expect them to use it.


ROTFL.

You are describing your political views, ie those of a lazy under achiever
who thinks the world owes him a living.

Not everyone thinks like that, not even every young person. True, those who
have been dragged out of school to festivals etc and tainted by their
parents will turn out as failures but their are others who will go on and
succeed. There have always been wasters like you. There always will be.
Where do you think the Spikes and Gareths of the world come from?


Its ok, Brian. I know youre very upset about how Brexit is panning out
and how badly your far right chums in Parliament are doing but console
yourself with the knowledge that the next generation are going to really
enjoy spending the proceeds of the Land Value Tax that Comrade Corbyns
going to levy on you, OM.

LOL!

that is all the know how to do...tax and spend on layabouts ....


Its called €œredistribution of wealth€�, Jim. Specifically, were going to
redistribute Brians wealth, Jim. Thanks, Jim.

.....in the 70's labour taxed us all until out pips squeaked......when
maggie got in income tax went down.....but tax on goods went up......so
who did that benefit?.....those with high incomes....you can only buy so
much and their income tax went down so the rich were beter off and the
poor were hammered.....just the way I see it.....
