John52 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 This is not about Left Wing or Right Wing, its about Right or Wrong. The next Prime Minister needs to have 2 urgent conversations 1) With Muslim Youth 2) With the EU What has become abundantly clear over the last few weeks is Theresa May is not the best candidate to have those conversations. Jeremy Corbyn is. As he says the solution to the IRA crisis was a political one, not a military one. Wheras Theresa May seems to think suicide bombers are 'Cowards' who can be frightened off. Just like Thatcher's disastrous handling of the IRA. Membership of the Labour Party has doubled since he became leader. The crowds following him around just keep growing. But look at them - they are all youngsters - typically generation rent priced out of a home and fed up with the Establishment. As can be sen by the comments on here, Jeremy Corbyn is still not popular amongst the older generations who are traditionally most likely to vote. Big question is will these youngsters turn up to vote him in. Or will they do what they always do - say they will vote but don't (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 No one will ever know the answer to that question - although I'm sure a lot of pollsters will tell us after the election. Those who believe polls will then think they know the answer. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryd999 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Im sure I saw one poll that with a high youth turn out saw the Tories defeated and a hung parliament. One things for sure the young are pretty pished off with their elders. Brexit and the Tories. What a combination for them. At least this one isnt over Glastonbury weekend though huh so you never know. Ultimately its clear the way the next generation want things so even if they lose out again this time with both the Tories and us leaving the EU its only a matter of time before they are out of government and the country is back in the EU.

RogerC Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Shame you didn't put your pearls of wisdom to Number 10 when Thatcher was in office John you could have saved a lot of lives, and money if you had seeing as you clearly know what was going on and how to resolve it. Anyway to the question......if they do turn out in numbers that have an effect on the outcome then I will be pleased because apathy pre voting and whining afterwards (as with the EU referendum) is simply childish. If they are as apathetic as they were with the EU vote then the simple answer is "you couldn't be bothered and don't like the outcome?.......oh dear, so sad, never mind."
