Tockwith, I just have to ask if you live in the village of the same name in Yorkshire? I was born there!

Labour is chasing the University student vote, so Conservatives need to point this out to the majority of young people who are not going to University. Just let them know: "those students are all voting for a party that wants you to subsidise the cost of their courses, even though they are going to end-up better paid than you. Fight back. Let the students pay for their own advantages. Vote Conservative!".
Why wasn't there an option of "we should have left already" ? It would be interesting to know how many wanted an immediate break with EU after the vote.
I think a big part of the problem is that every generation wants to feel that they are special, better than previous generations, to give themselves self-esteem. So they easily convince themselves they can change the world for the better by trying something *new*, that their parents were too stupid to do. How to convince them they are just an ordinary new generation - nothing special, without crushing their sense of self-worth?
I would have expected a good Conservative result next time too. Surely, all those Conservatives who didn't vote last time or voted for other parties to reduce the huge expected majority (and to fight against a hard Brexit) wouldn't do so next time, knowing Corbyn stands a chance after all. And all those Labour voters who hated Corbyn but were persuaded he didn't have a chance would also be less likely to vote next time too. And yet I hear the opinion polls put Corbyn ahead now. So what do I know?
