      If the young didn't vote in the Brexit referendum that's their problem, you don't get a second chance just because it didn't go the way you wanted.. who are you, Nicola Sturgeon?
      I wonder why the Brexiteers are so fiercely opposed to a second referendum? May it because they realise that the original vote was "won" only because of blatant lies and misinformation in the Leave campaign and people using it as a protest vote not realising the consequence. And that after an year of discussions on the topic they don't stand a chance of winning again?

      If the Government was free to call GE just for kicks, where is the problem in calling a new referendum?

        how about streaming 15yr olds and 16yr olds towards white collar and blue collar so that we don't run out of plumbers and sparks ?

        Yes, exactly. More vocational courses.

        It was Blair who said he wanted 50% of young people going into higher education. Consequently, you get all kinds of things getting dressed up as academic courses.

          that is the crux of it

          icckle Brexiters are scared they'll lose a re-run, and not so confident as they were in their 1.8% majority

            it's probably the tuition fees which contributed to the non-degrees

            with the Universities being flooded with money they could cream up any old stupid degree and get some poor sods to fund it

            if it was the University's own money, they'd more likely be sticking to a list of course which have some value in the workplace

            Scrap the fees and the non-degrees

            simple

              simple as that

              they didn't vote in the Referendum and now they are voting strategically

              Really - and at the oh so experienced age of 18-21 they have a better understanding of how the world works then us 'old miserable and highly experienced' 30/40 somethings?

              They did not vote in the referendum because they were bone idle and though it would be a remain win.

              They voted in this election because Corbyn promised free lollipops and zero tuition fees.

                They voted in this election because Corbyn promised a small taste of what previous generations have been handed on a silver platter

                  and not forgetting Corbyn seeming such a nice, agreeable old man, while TM resembles more Cruella de Vil

                  God some the electorate are as thick as mince, if they judge solely by appearances.

                    You had no idea what brexit was until now.
                    Would you still vote LEAVE had you had the current knowledge? I doubt it highly.

                    Brexit will be reversed or very very mild.
