They were polling badly with younger voters already, I wonder whether they might lose more votes than they gain with this idea. It really just smells desperate and ill considered. Like everything else about the last 3 days. Heck has it only been 3 days?
It is a well known fact that the British armed forces actually quite like being a professional force unencumbered by youths who don’t want to be there and have little interest in embracing the army life. It is a less well known fact that years of cuts and cack-handed procurement have withered our armed forces alarmingly. We certainly need more boots on the ground but this isn’t the way to go about it.
