Tactical Voting website is now live .... link attached - Page 3

It was announced this morning that an astonishing 1.5m people have applied for voter registration since the election was called two weeks ago. That's more than twice as many as in 2017 - and it includes record-breaking numbers of young people.  With another week to go before voter registration closes on 26 November, I hope many more young people register in order to exercise their democratic right on the 12th December - afterall, it's their generation which is going to be affected most by the Brexit referendum.

UK students studying languages continues to drop - French and German both massively down. Spanish bucks the trend but I wonder if that's given it's global take up.

You would expect children and the young who wanted to exercise their freedom of movement throughout Europe to be studying the languages but that doesn't appear to be the case. How would they get jobs across Europe without language skills. 

The other elephant in the room is European youth unemployment - it's painfully high in much of Europe which is why so many of their young work in the UK. We also see quite a few young single professionals from France working out of London for tax reasons.

You might be right and I won't challenge your right to think this way but I have my doubts.

My own suspicion is that the most affected groups are pensioners and early retirees.

Hi Lancelot,

I think you may be confusing my post above with the one about Freedom of Movement which I've just posted on your "Poll" thread.  The point I was making above is that it will be today's young people who will be making an assessment of the damage done by Brexit - probably in about 30 years time - but now is their time to make a change.  I've said it many times and I'll say it again, one positive to come out of Brexit is the engagement of the upcoming generation in UK politics.

Kind regards,

Kim

No, I was responding to your post above. I, like many, was too young to vote in the initial referendum and I suspect today's young will have future opportunity to vote to rejoin. 

Once in a generation feels about right.
