    That's not the point.

    You start a party and have policies. Labour, Tories and Lib Dims see that you have supporters and so are going to steal a local council seat or more. You then get local media coverage and a national newspaper picks up on your policies on young people. Your policies on young people are then incorporated in two of the larger parties manifestos at their next annual conference.

    Of course not, too many of them simply expect it all to be "fixed" for them in order that they can seamlessly continue tweeting, Instagramming, and photographing their lunch.

    Feckless namby-pamby snowflakes!!

    God help us if there is ever another war.

    Anyone.

    As long as they are a demographic who is known to vote then politicians will make policies for them.

    hmm another interesting poll

    Brexit: If EU referendum were held again Remain would win, poll shows | The Independent

    Sure hasn't changed much since the referendum, but I'm not seeing everyone get behind the Brexit bandwagon, and the economic figures are "good".

    It will be interesting to see what may happen if Brexit does end up in a mess.
