Interesting chat with Kwarteng on the Rest is Politics pod. Says he wouldn’t vote Tory if he was in his 20s!
It's the question I asked a page ago.Still waiting for anyone to give me a reason.
With Starmer saying it's time to turn the page, that depends on what's on the next page.

No one same votes for any party for a single reason. Most of the time they don't vote for a party at all, they vote against the most damaging of the two options as a whole. No wonder no one's answering it.

I hope Sunak doesn't run into any young voters on the campaign trail.
That would be novel. So far it's been exclusively Tory plants in hi viz's Maybe they're doing community service.I hope Sunak doesn't run into any young voters on the campaign trail.
Meanwhile, in satire is dead news, Sunak wants us to live in the plot of Starship Troopers. hahahaha.

I think it's telling that nobody is even attempting to give a single reason.

Then again if he does they'll probably be Young Conservatives planted in the audience.
Tell you what, let’s turn this around for a mo.I think it's telling that nobody is even attempting to give a single reason.

Can you give us a reason why anyone should vote for Labour for eg?
‘Not Tories’ is not a valid answer.

I think as far as Rishi is concerned, he would be best advised to ignore them. Young people vote Conservative less and less (a thirty year trend) and even if he can turn things around and somehow get two full terms, he won't personally benefit from that. Even if you assume the polls are very low, they show something like 1-2% of 18-24 will vote Tory, so even with a generous ceiling of 10% after the campaign it won't make a big difference, especially if it affects the vote elsewhere.
For the party as a whole, young people are becoming more left wing all the time, so eventually they will have to move to the left as they did during the post-war consensus and return to the pragmatism that made them the natural party of government for so long or become the opposition party of protest like Labour have always been.

Here's one. The NHS currently spends around £5 billion per year on agency staff due to chronic shortages of clinical staff. The Government's response as I showed you above is to require public sector workers to undertake national service, thereby making it even harder to recruit permanent staff. Now I'm well aware joining dots is difficult for you, but I can't spend all day doing it, so please put down your relentless cognitive bias & have a think for once.
To be fair my question was specifically around younger voters so 18-24.Penguin has been honest enough to say ignore them they won't vote Conservative anyway.
I doubt the Conservatives will be honest enough to say that.

All that may be so but makes me laugh when the Tory crew start banging on about cohesion & the social contract, just one post above yours. Nothing says society quite like sPenguin has been honest enough to say ignore them they won't vote Conservative anyway.

tting relentlessly on about ten percent of it. I'd like to to see our resident right wingers square that one off while urging us to vote for the Tories.Riff Raff said:
