Re: British Election Update (4.00 / 3)

It all depends on the youth vote; like with Bernie Sanders, if the young vote, Corbyn wins.

They are massively under-represented in polling but have registered to vote in massive numbers. But....it all depends on whether they turn out.

Any plan predicated on young people turning out to vote is probably doomed to failure.

They do, indeed, turn out occasionally: Obama 2008. But the more likely is they won't: the US elections of 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016.

Yea, I aint holding my breath either, especially as the weather forecast for thursday is pretty vile, which never helps turnout
