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."

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulat...ticsforuk/2016

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,


Those that said that to the pollster, stupid.


and when was that said on the way to the polling station or a week or month before ? and then what makes you think a person tells pollster, the truth and doesnl;t say I don;t know just to get rid of them.



perhaps you are refering to those that didn't vote.


Nope.


But if someone knew what they were going to vote for then surely they;d vote for that person party or option, why would they sit at home knowing who they'd vote for if the got up 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


Nope.


That's what was said last time, and Thersa May lost out because of such estimates of Corbyn support, now even a significant number of tories don't support Boris, Boris has even less support than T. May had.


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


Separate issue entirely to how many who want Corbyn to
be PM wouldnt bother to vote because they had decided
that he is going to win. That's very unlikely with the current
poll result.


Which is why they are more likely to vote for him than stay at home.
