There Was NO Youthquake Swinging the Election to Labour

For those who may have missed it earlier in the week -

I wondered at the time if the university give away (on fees) really would have had that much impact, as young university students tended to vote Labour anyway - if they had any interest in politics to start with. And the 56% who didn't go, wouldn't have an incentive to have more of the fees paid out of taxes than before. Just the opposite, if anything.

There was of course the other argument that there were countless Labour activists on social media whipping up da kidz, to vote for the anti-Semitic Party.

Are there really many more kids engaged in politics now (because of social media) than in the past?

So if there was no 'youthquake', it means the young people who did vote did so intelligently and voted in large numbers for 'left' leaning parties - doesn't bode well for the scumbag 'nasty party' does it???

They are fed up of being ripped off by the establishment and the old farts running the country.

You sound like you searching for ectoplasm at a séance Gravy.

I've just knocked smartly on my desk if it'll help you out.

It does often seem like a séance on here - trying to get an answer from the dead.

By dead do you mean the clergyman's daughter and her dysfunctional cabinet?
