Why do stereotypical 19 year old lefty students get so much stick? I was a 19 year old righty student and I never get criticised for being such a cunt womble. At least I changed, the only 19 year old righty students that get stick are the ones that don't change and end up running the country.

Twice in 5 years? Not quite up there with a clock then.

How can I miss my own point you disagreed with 43% it says. Down 1%

Almost half 18-24 voted Labour lite, less than a quarter of over 65s. That's exactly the opposite of Tory. 18-24 demographic voted 3% less Tory and 12% more Labour. https://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/3575/How-Britain-voted-in-2015.aspx?view=wide

Going on like this is a brand new mad headed idea. This is basic old labour CT. Keynesian economics, the welfare state, strong unions, first female cabinet member, nationalised industry, it's what delivered the NHS, the old age pensions act, free school meals, national insurance etc. Basically every progressive policy in place today that is being stripped back by conservative governments. It was a magic few decades until business and media got themselves back in order to fight back against it. Hopefully the internet informed youth can make better choices without being as propagandised.

I'll repeat, there wasn't a credible party pushing another way, Labour also planned cuts approaching the same levels as the Tories.

The electorate haven't had the option.

Better to remove any hope, not try at all and just make sure the wealthiest in society aren't asked to do something about the poor shits that will join the riots.

Who told you it was pie in the sky CT? The economists I read say things like http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/krugman/2015/08/04/corbyn-and-the-cringe-caucus/?referrer=

Strange you're such a Tory when you agree with a lot of Corbyn's views that are too leftist for 90% of Labour, let alone for the conservatives. One would almost think you make this shit up as you go along.

Geordies almost twice as likely to kill themselves as Londoners

Ginger Quiff seems to have a few problems and puts up a pretty obnoxious front. perhaps he worries that he's displaying weakness by honestly confronting them and accepting help or advice either from family, the NHS or strangers. He seemed to come close in his first reply in this thread, but who knows if that was a piss take. Hope he gets whatever help he needs sooner rather than later. -

I think the problem is in the last 2 elections Labour have embraced taking the blame for over spending in that period and committed to austerity measures approaching similar levels. Not that labour 97 is the same as Tory 2014.
-
The similarities are clear, but then so should the differences be. And I don't mean the perceived ability of the two ideologues. Very few leaders have remarkable intelligence these days, they should have conviction and be informed by brilliant minds they surround themselves with though. The main difference is where under 30s get their news from these days and what motivates them to be involved in the political process.

I thought he was supposed to be a Holocaust denier rather than a Holocaust supporter. If you're going to smear him the accusations shouldn't contradict

91 of the 100 lowest turnout constituencies are already labour.

It has. But the majority of us delighted by this news live in safe labour constituencies, where millions of those abstainers live too. It's those marginals where a few thousand votes matter that the battle is won/lost in our voting system. It's a gamble that in those largely southern towns there are enough disillusioned left wingers engaged in politics but choosing not to vote that can be won back and outnumber those from the centre left that might be scared off by the more radical ideas. Personally, I see it as a worthwhile effort. Nobody under the age of 48 has ever had the opportunity to vote for a party with real socialist values that could actually win in this country. I tire of comparisons to Foot, it MIGHT be as disastrous, but it's a completely different landscape and electorate. It's worth one attempt at testing the appetite for this change rather than chasing the Tories to the right and hoping business and media won't just crush it again and side with the authentic Tories.

Way to ignore the evidence that the majority do believe in exactly the same policies he espouses. Unsurprising.

Have you seen citizen Kane?

Haha. No problem. I didn't even know the numbers till I came on here so I appreciate it. Wonder how many people like me there are 36 or under that have never voted labour before but would do gladly for the first time in their life. Mad, after 20 years as a voting age supporter of left wing, liberal policies.
