The truth is that Rishi Sunak is very happy to sacrifice the young to bad outcomes because he doesn't think they'll vote for him anyway so he can punch down without fear of electoral impact.
“I’ve volunteered all my life,” the student began, only for the PM to reply: “Then you’ll love it!”
What an asshole.
Is there a requirement for him to stick around and campaign? It sounds like he's already made his post-election plans. He's already got the PM gig on his resumé. Why not go now and avoid the abuse? He can claim he's doing it out of a sense of fairness to give the Tories a fresh start.
This is a club or wooden mallets. A skewered is more prolonged, with building intensity .
Young people can really make a difference in this election.
The difference being a move from tories just losing. To them failing to be the main opposition party.
The current predictions on electoral calculus are 66 seats for the tories. 59 seats for the lib dems.
But there are a predicted 53 seats where lib dems are predicted to land within 10 % of the tories winning.
Young voters are generally under represented in this polling. So if you live in one of those seats. A high agreement to tactical vote among younger voters. And a higher turn out. Could be enough to turn 4 or more seats. Making the lib de,s the official opposition.
And the tories the 3rd party.
Personally I cannot imagine a more effective way to inform the tories they funked up with younger voters.
And they so very badly need to learn that lesson, yes. Hopefully this nonsense motivates a new generation of young people forming a habit of voting, and of voting against the Conservative Party.
The thing is, the whole 'National Service' thing is to get all the old people to vote - and we're getting to a point where none of THEM did national service but they think it'll be a good thing for other people to do.
