    So 41% of the population were seriously prepared to countenance the possibilty

    that the UK could be goiverned by a Cabinet comprised of Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott and Thornberry.

    41%. Consider that for a moment. 41%.

    If that doesn't scare the living bejesus out of you, you're a stronger man than I.

    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.

    Still, even a third of the country voting for that incompetent halfwit is pretty frightening.

    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's

    It isn't that 41% of the population are mental, which is what certain people on here suggest

    The younger people would've most likely been voting for two reasons. Brexit backlash and university fees. Let's not pretend young people give a **** about anyone but themselves.

    I would suggest that most people that vote don't give a **** about anyone but themselves

    Same for grown-ups, to be fair. As B said, the difference is at least youngsters have an excuse.

    I'm afraid it's worse than that. Surely you have to add the SNP and Sinn Fein votes to that at least?

    'Policies', old chap. It's the plural form you seek. 'Policy's' would be the singular possessive.

    There's no need to be rude.
