Yes because I obviously voted here and then did the 12 hour round trip to vote again at home.

Idiots.

They're trying to pull a Trump, last I heard his administration was trying to push through 'anti-voting fraud' laws that essentially was voter suppression by a different name.

It's fairly blatant that this is just an attempt to dissuade students from voting in future since they proved to be an influential part of this election that weren't in the Tories' favour.

What rubbish - if people are voting legitimately why would they be dissuaded. If they have nothing to hide they have no reason to be put off.

It's okay if you don't understand what Voter Suppression is but you should probably go look it up before you call someone else's opinion rubbish whilst displaying to everyone that you completely missed the point.

This is just a tactic to demonise voters, to put the legitimacy of an unfavourable demographic to question and to make it harder for people to vote legitimately in the future. It wouldn't surprise me if someone uses this story to push through a law that requires students to return home to vote, something that wouldn't be possible for many students. That is voter suppression in the guise of anti-voting fraud because it makes it harder for people of certain demographics to vote.

Practice what you preach because you often accuse people of not supporting the democratic process for not agreeing with you but you are in support of what is a thinly veiled attempt at Voter Suppression.

How shamelessly hypocritical.

Because they would most likely be automatically enrolled at their parent's address when they turn 18, and the enhanced "security" on multiple registrations would make it more difficult for them to register elsewhere (e.g. in their University town). As many students live hundreds of miles from their home town, it is impossible for them to travel to that polling station, meaning that they either need to go through a now-more-difficult enrollment process in their Uni town, or arrange a postal vote.

A lot of students keep their permanent registered address as their parents address throughout University because there's a lot of moving around, from Halls, into private rentals, then a new one the next year, etc.

I had three different addresses in the 4 years I was at Uni.

This left wing corruption by the hordes of selfish corrupt violent students, should be taking up 80% of the bbc and cnn news coverage just to balance up with the 80% mass coverage of the non russian fake news story....theyll do anything to ensure sick old people pay for the free education for useless degree courses for arrogant less than intelligent students

Hypocrisy, sexism and a dosy leader - new labour. Is that really what 'modern' Britain wants or needs?

Oliver_W · 19-08-2017, 08:00 AM

While I don't like Corbyn as a politician, this is a petty thing to use to get at him. He was just thoughtless, that's all.

Are we talking about a guy who remembered to take his umbrella versus a woman who didn’t? or are we talking about a political party who’s had two female leaders versus a political party who’s had none and therefore must be sexist?

If it’s the first, I refuse to discuss it, other than to say, if I was out in the rain without my brolly, I wouldn’t expect a bloke to come to my rescue.

Did you even read it. He was given an umbrella, she wasn't. Missed the point completely.

So it is about the umbrella

Blame the person who gave Corbyn the brolly and not him... FFS!

Plus he didn't share it plus it was part of a wider criticism of Corbyn and the left FFS!

Chivalry is sexist. Silly ho should have brought her own umbur-ella ella ella ay ay ay.

Withano · 19-08-2017, 10:20 AM

'Doesn't share an umbrella in under 2.5 seconds' is probably your strongest anti-Corbyn argument yet
