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. Change is coming.

It always does, but its unlikely to see that fool Corbyn as PM.

"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."

But the polls show that Corbyn hasnt got a hope in hell of being PM
currently.


The polls also said in 2016 that the vote would be to remain in the EU.


With the narrow result in that referendum and the very high dont
know percentage


what very high don't know percentage, perhaps you are refering to those that didn't vote. Because T i m has previously claimed they were remainers because they chose not to vote.



It could be that when some see the polls argree with their
choice, then those think well I don't need to vote then.


But given how poorly Corbyn currently polls, that wouldnt happen..


you might be suprised when you think of the number of resignations from the tory party, not every conservative likes Boris.


I believe this is more likely to be student mentality as I
see this with students quite often regarding course work.
Studetns want the lap open longer hours so we opened
at 8am instead of 9am while most turn up after lunch and
wonder why we aren't willing to work until 6pm or even
midnight, as some computer labs are open until 2am like
the local take-aways.


Irrelevant to Corbyn's prospects as PM.


How would you know that.
