All while this is happening they are throwing around immigration figures to smoke-screen the real issues. Honestly I am relieved that the tories are doing so horribly in the 18-24year olds opinion polls, hopefully even lower by the time people my age are eligible to vote (for me that will be 2020 for the next general election or 2018/2019 for local elections I am not sure)

Peoples political persuasions and what they consider important in life reflect their own personal circumstances as they go through life.

For example, in the Scottish Independence referendum, the age limit was lowered by the SNP to increase its chances of success, largely, because people in that age group are less concerned about economics and family security. What I'm trying to say is that there will always be an 18-24 year old age group that favours particular beliefs, but it doesn't follow that when the same people are in the 25-30 range they will retain the same beliefs.
