Early reports have suggested that as many as 72% of young people voted in this general election.
The snap election called by Theresa May in April is said to have sparked a monumental turnout among voters aged 18 to 24, resulting in an unprecedented (apart from by YouGov) hung parliament.
However the 72% figure is just an estimate, initially reported by the head of the NUS. Ipsos Mori pollsters have since said that detailed stats on turnout won’t be available for around a week or so.
While the Tories had expected a landslide victory, they’re currently on just 314 seats – 12 seats short of the 326 needed to have an overall majority.

So the conservative oldies don't have all the power as was suggested on here for weeks

There's a lot of fake (and unreliable) news on the Internet though. That was blamed for Trump getting elected.

We'll see if the 72% figure story in this thread is an example of that phenomenon.

No lies on the net then. Surely no-one is daft enough to take the net as gospel!

As for your blatant ageism, time will have the last laugh on you there - enjoy it while you can. The stupidity of your words will finally dawn.

More chance of truth on the internet where all sides are reported than with the tabloids and their regular character assassinations and worship of Theresa May (I believe I saw the sun call her the 'people's champion'. on a front page a few days before election, very unbiased reporting there!

It's the older generations that decided both the EU Ref and this election, they deserve to take the flack for their mistakes, it was also their generations that ****ed up everything to begin with so you can be quiet with those weak claims of ageism.

They fought for you to have the freedoms you have, that is really disrespectful to older people imo.

And he was telling others in recent threads how 'disrespectful' their vote for Brexit and the Tories was was to those that fought in the wars to preserve our freedoms. You couldn't make it up.

But now they're fighting to take away the NHS and people's rights, that's pretty disrespectful too

That is a completely fabricated point with no basis in fact whatsoever

Generally older people need the NHS more than the young so that really makes no sense.

The majority of people who voted Tory would not be old enough to have fought in World War 2 so this is a false statement.

Plus they voted for Theresa May who said that she'd 'rip up' Human Rights laws to combat terrorism which is an ACTUAL insult to all that have sacrificed and died to ensure the rights we enjoy. Try again.

Absolutely,the war ended near 72 years ago,I doubt there are that many 90+ people voting now.
Also,at the end of that war most of those who likely fought and those keeping things going at home,their families.
Turned to Labour in the election of 1945,turfing out Churchill and giving Labour a landslide victory.

That's what people who lived and fought during that war decided to do the moment they got the chance.

She didn't say ALL and everybodys human rights ,she said she would get human rights altered for terrorists,so she can deport the ones she can easier,that's how I understood it anyway.
