    I think you’re exaggerating the impact this age group has on elections.

    Most of them don’t even bother to go and vote. This is precisely why the government doesn’t do anything for them. It’s also not going to be a consideration for the timing of the election for the same reason.

      • the government’s not doing it
      • and if they are, it doesn’t matter
      • and if it matters, they deserved it

      A government shouldn’t disenfranchise voters. If someone’s not gonna vote, that’s entirely their choice, but no one else should make that choice for them.

      Last election In my constituency the right where complainingthat Labour won because it was a GOOD time for the students to vote.

      We have 3 universities.

      The population of the city significantly drops during university holidays.

      So yes, it can make quite a big difference.
