It wasn't sticking up for Tony. You were the one that was going on about the maths, so I did the maths and it didn't match your assertion.
That is a long post to stick up for Tony.
You are dedicated to the cause.
The point is the student population is the most fickle - 50% voted Lib Dem in 2010 and immediately switched allegiance when they lied about their commitment and then swarmed to Corbyn the next free tuition Pied Piper

My hero. Holds clenched hands to heart, tilts neck and flutters eyelashes.
So not between 18-24 then.
So why was the second and third highest proportion of student votes for parties that gave students nothing? Whereas the party that offered them the most was fourth? Or is this 'students are short termist who only go for whoever offers them the most now' another sweeping generalisation that's just blatantly untrue
So where are you getting 50% of the population in that age group is going into Higher Education. I know the numbers, I’ve quoted them as I’ve already told you from the source in the link. What I’m asking is how you’ve equated that to be 50% of the population between the ages of 18-24.
That says 50% of up to 30
How many 18-24 year olds are there in this country?
It’s irrelevant. You’re clearly not understanding the data in front of you.
Which party offered the most?
Greens
Student population of that age group is much higher anyway it’s closer to 50%
The thing with that law is all they'd need to do is set up a new company and sell the land to it. Then the new company can have it for the same length of time before they do the process again. Legally the owner of the land changes, in reality it's the same people in control. They can sit on the land in perpetuity effectively.
It’s 5.2 million. How many undergraduates are in university in university degrees? Do we agree 1.6 million - oddly enough 30%
We agree now as it is I who said 30% all along. So you’re correcting your earlier statement of 50%?
So it looks like yet another almighty u-turn from the Tories is coming up.
Which one sick boy ?
No because of post grad courses and repeat courses from drop outs and non university part time courses

Saw noises of a north of Ireland only backstop - I expect this will ultimately be that substituting the backstop in the existing WA.
Is this going to be the same U turn May made after meeting with the DUP and discovering that they wouldn’t accept a border in the Irish Sea?

Yeah, saw that as well. Doesn’t feel quite right to me to be honest so I hope it’s not true.
It’s a strange one though as apparently a lot in NI and Ireland would be happy with that solution....just not the DUP (understandably)
I think it has wider issues for the union though and Sturgeon will be all over it when pushing for independence (I’ve talked about strange dynamics above....there’s another one....SNP wanting to leave the UK but wanting to remain in the EU, which is by no means guaranteed as an independent country, and even if it was, likely they would have to join the Euro something the SNP have never accepted as far as I’m aware)
He no longer has a majority in parliament and wants an election.
Indeed but it’s a gamble he would takeCorrect, keeping the DUP happy isn’t currently an issue as he doesn’t have a majority anyway. Might not be such a wise move if there’s another hung Parliament though !!!
To be fair the conservatives (and unionist party) do by and large, care about the union. Not sure there’s much love lost with DUP thoughI think that most in the north would be happy with it apart from the unionists, who would probably then finally realise that the government doesn’t care about them.
It’s superficial as this provesTo be fair the conservatives (and unionist party) do by and large, care about the union. Not sure there’s much love lost with DUP though
So you’re dismissing your own linked data and your own interpretation of your data. You’ve now disagreed with me, agreed with me and are now disagreeing with me again just a matter of minutes after agreeing with me. How do you reason with that? FFS, pick a story and stick to it will you.
Might have to. I wonder if labour would whip to vote down a revised WA though ? If they do, still no Brexit and impasse remainsIndeed but it’s a gamble he would take
