    But would also need some proper long term planning to achieve it.

    The level of structural investment and funding increases to make this happen would make Labour’s broadband policy look like a raffle prize. There’s a reason education in this country is fucked... it started the day we thought schools should behave like businesses.

    This ‘prediction’ is suggesting only half of the young people will vote this time that did in 2017. There is no tangible evidence to support this hypothesis. New voter registration has spiked in the last 2 weeks (largely in this age range), and this is an age range that is a much larger group of...

    Swinson is the most at risk of losing hers.

    If they are weighting their polls in any way like they are suggesting... then they will all become obsolete if 18-24 turnout is even at 2017 levels. If anything - I would expect turnout in this category to increase...

    OK I see your point... but to expect smaller parties to give way you need to build some goodwill. For example - why would Labour run in Caroline Lucas’ seat - Labour won’t win, and standing aside is a positive gesture where they will reciprocate in turn at a far greater rate.

    Thought this was interesting... a polling companies prediction of turnout by age group. I think it’s bollocks personally.

    I don’t agree with the private school policy at all other than either removing their VAT privilege, or giving it to all state schools.

    I do understand this train of thought. Corbyn’s Labour to me appear to be making some very different noises - which will appeal to some and not everyone. For me the ideology/manifesto/policies are what I believe is right. If they reverted back to the neo-liberal stance from before I would not...

    No in the main you are right, the Tory vote held up, and we very much went back to a 2 party position. The LD vote is holding for now... but where will have its impact? The seats where LD can make the most gains are Con/LD marginals - so something will have to give. Labour in my opinion are...

    It’s not been all about Brexit... you can barely find an election story on Brexit despite Boris’ best intentions and his really shit National Express knock off. This election will be about domestic issues... let’s see what the Tories have - because they look pretty bankrupt of ideas to me. And...

    I think it said in the story that some countries like South Korea and Japan has 97/98% - what did they do differently, or did they just get started longer ago?
