Looks like Boris goose is cooked. Change is coming.
There's nothing new in that, you always get new voters registering when
an election is pending. Older people are usually already registered. Simples!

"The total number of UK parliamentary electors increased by just over 1
million (2.3%) between December 2015 and December 2016, this partly
reflects high levels of public engagement with the EU referendum."
