As Luis Anaconda showed us, there is part of that 41% that would not have voted for Labour had they thought there was any chance of Corbyn being elected. How much is hard to say but I'm guessing it isn't small.Quote:

I know this might be hard to believe, but perhaps they voted for labour because the policy's they suggested were in fact better than the ones the Tory party want...... helping the poor, more Police, better care for the disabled and elderly, taxing people who earn over 80k a year more...... perhaps that is why they younger people wanted to vote for them, and others are fed up with a party trying to steamroll the population with unpopular policy'sQuote:

Yeah, in a civilised country, it really shouldn't make any difference who the leaders are. For the people, I mean.Quote:

That is the the really scary bit, Yes. One must assume it was mostly young people, from whom one can only expect irresponsible idiocy. It's the grown-ups who voted for him who scare me.Quote:

I suspect even Boris would have fared better than Theresa May, at least he has some character and whatsit about him. May is as bland as cardboard.
Right. It's Heseltine and Major all over again.Quote:
