Well, everything really.

Nothing wrong with that, of course.

I assure you, I was young once and most certainly not as incredibly wise as I am now!

So you have experienced abject poverty, injustice, inequality.. in all those years of politics; the world and life in general"?

Are you assuming politics is just for the "experienced" and the priviledged and the affluent?

Well, you must realise that this was in working class Bradford, and a rough part at that. Outside toilets, basically just a hole in the ground actually.

We couldn't afford toilet paper, of course. We'd buy a cheap newspaper once a year and, each of our very large family having read it (those who could read, of course), it would be cut up into small pieces and hung from a nail on the outside privy wall. It had to last a year, as you might imagine, until we could afford another newspaper, so we were obliged to use the smallest conceivable pieces.

But we were happy.

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

I don't blame young people for voting labour. If someone had said to me tick this box and you know that £30,000 debt you owe we will pay it for you of course we would all (well most of us) tick the box.

Thing is then how to present it to others without looking selfish and as if they were bought...ah yes we voted for a brave new world and for change.....that sounds good and bugger the consequences.

Of course there are some young people who really believe that and good luck to them in their convictions but on the whole I don't think so...just my opinion of course.

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

I can understand all the mums and dads on here being upset, because their children, who may have voted Labour, are being blamed for Corbyn's increase in votes. We need to ask what, or who, was at fault and I believe that it is the campaigning we allow before an election.

Choosing who runs this country is very important, yet Candidates are allowed to select a group of people and target them for their votes. I believe that their manifesto should say what they intend to do and how they intend to do it, because their promises become a bit dissolved when they get into power, so become lies!

They should be forced to give a date by when their promises will be activated, and if they aren't, there should be a way to dissolve that government as they have lied to the people.

I also believe that, in debates, there should be no mention of what the other parties do wrong, just a promise of what you will do right and how you will manage that!

Yes youngsters were conned, just like pensioners, business men and parents usually are. We would all vote for something that would personally benefit ourselves, but a change in the rules of campaigning may prevent us all being lied to!

We have all seen how disastrous American style campaigning is and how easy it is to undermine the person with the majority vote. I don't want our selection of a person to lead this country, to become as big a joke as it is there.
