I suppose the alternative would be for us to be governed by one of the other parties which gained even fewer votes!

Is that how your preferred electoral system would work?

Is that because they don't vote the way you'd want them too Bruv?

Hi

Corbyn is going after the younger voters. 1.7 million Uk University Students, Tuition fees axed immediately, saving them a fortune.

If the voting age had been reduced to 16 he would have got them in the net as well.

I think I might vote Labour .
They haven't a prayer in my constituency so it will be better than spoiling the ballot paper

It's a phone-in show - they start with a couple of experts. Campbell tries to be neutral. He did say early on he wasn't getting many calls (on the u16 voting issue).
