Lets be accurate Derek. Three quarters of 18-25 year olds DID NOT vote to remain. The majority of them did not vote at all. 36% of them voted. 27% of them voted Remain. Not a lot. Certainly not three quarters.
Accuracy is irrelevant. The fact is that it's all jolly unfair. Based on that, the referendum doesn't matter & we should stay in the EU with all its goodness.FN2TypeR said:

Funny how his party gave the conservatives a kicking at recent by-election & came close in the other.
Come election time in a year or two, they will gain many MPs, as the only true anti-brexit party.
A sensible choice to be the voice of the 48% +
I would say he may be a suitable rather than sensible voice for extremist retainers, but not the 48% minority in general. Come election time in a year or two, they will gain many MPs, as the only true anti-brexit party.

His latest statement that Donald Trump POTUS must be left under no doubt that he is being snubbed by Tim Farron MP is just another sign of a man who deals in a bubble of self indulgent petulance. IMO.

The only people more deluded than you will be anyone voting for the LibDems based on Farron's boohooing.Come election time in a year or two, they will gain many MPs, as the only true anti-brexit party.

My 18mth old son is more convincing when he kicks off.
It will be hard for the LibDems to do much worse than at the last GE, but I would be shocked on a scale that last year wouldn't even register on if they got even close to being influential in power.

By-elections have minuscule turnouts and almost invariably the government gets a kicking. Come election time in a year or two, they will gain many MPs, as the only true anti-brexit party.

That is the "normal" state of affairs.
What would be far more telling is if the Conservatives win Copeland.
king MPs. He's utterly irrelevant.

They won an oddball by-election. There's 2 more at the end of the month, want to state where you think they will come in or rise in vote share ?Come election time in a year or two, they will gain many MPs, as the only true anti-brexit party.
