Nightmare scenario

[original PM]

So the tories are supported by coffin dodgers (so old and experienced) where as labour is supported by 16 year olds on the promise of a free lollipop.

You can pull your own conclusions from that.

Tory Scum is acutely aware that their core voters will die out, so they made a cynical bet on robbing them of their assets and try to buy "Brexiter" voters who not happy about immigration.

I used to watch John Major's tory crowd at conference with the same thought. 25 years later, they're still there. The only way to ensure they die out is to kill anyone under the age of 50 and then leave the rest to wither.

A rare case and hence noteworthy.

Voting age reduced to 16, means under educated snowflakes indoctrinated to expect everything for free will get to keep them in power forever.

Most don't work and pay no tax...scary

So its OK to send them to war at 16, work and pay tax, have kids, get married but not vote to influence any of that, I think its a disgrace. The tories have shot themselves in the foot with the benefit tax, so it will be a much closer fight that anyone thought at the start, c'mon Corbyn!

Depends on a couple of things. Are Labours poll gains totally a result of people switching from Lib Dems and hence any further shift will probably be limited or are they pulling votes back from the Conservatives?

Corbyn's free stuff for everyone followed by a quick trip to the IMF might be just be possible.

I don't want Jezza to win (and I don't think he win), neither do I want a massive majority for the Tories so they can do what they like. Democracy demands an effective opposition so hopefully May will end up with a single figure majority and we'll carry on as before.

I was thinking similar. I would be somewhat ironic if May ended up in pretty much the same position as before the election.

Yes it's fine and how it should be, because all "that" gives them the experience and judgment to vote responsibly.

Very ironic - if she does she only has herself to blame - silly woman
