Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

It's been said that Jeremy Corbyn is gearing up for the next election but how will young people vote now given that he told the media that he had a fully costed manifesto but did not realise how much it would cost to honour his pledge about cutting tuition fees.

Corbyn targetted the young because of their lack of voting experience and it seems to have paid off. Older voters appreciate that politicians cannot be trusted.

Having said that if the government had been better at offsetting the disadvantages created by high immigration in areas like Boston and Blackpool the referendum outcome might have been different provided of course that voters ensured they went out to vote.

When people cannot afford a house or get their children into the school of their choice or cannot sign on with a doctor or dental practice, it is likely thay will become resentful.

Some years ago George Clarke from Channel 4 told Grant Shapps about the million empty homes in the country. You would think that action to repair them and bring them back into use would have been forthcoming with local builders being given the job but instead the Conservative party stuck to their plan of using big building companies who wanted to build on Green Belt land to keep down costs.

This plus the failure to provide adequate school places, doctors, dentists and now teachers etc merely encouraged people to vote for leaving the EU and put us in the mess we are in now as the cabinet squabble over the best plan to leave.
