not arguing but he did manage to navigate the obligation to have the referendum, avoid devo max and get a no vote

I think he rather ensured devo max. If you think he's coming out of this smelling of roses,well, have you sobered up from last night yet?

time will tell on that... really hard to know what will happen next. Its far from certain. I havent looked closely at The Vow, but there seemed to be a lot of voices at the time saying it was, if anything, devo lite.

In fact Ive had a quick google but I haven't been able to find a clear summary of the Vow + Browns Timetable...may be the subject for a different thread, but if someone has a link to hand Id appreciate it

as i said, im not arguing about camerons status post vote, just adding the nuance that it could have gone worse for him

It could, but that fact alone, that his ineptitude led his army to the brink of total destruction, is not going to be forgotten or be rewarded.

saving an army out of nowhere = remembered, applauded
leading that army to where it needed saving = remembered, but for rather different reason.

The middle class fucked us over.

 

[Sprocket.]

Has anyone seen any figures showing the percentage of votes cast by 16 & 17 year olds?

 

[Sprocket.]

Double post, no hang on!

 

[Sprocket.]

Triple post, ridiculous techno use!

small sample size though so may not be all that representative

All we have right now are general figures-i,e area, turnout etc and general figures for the make up of those areas - and however we then interpret those figures. And a post-election poll by Ashcroft of 14 people.

 

[Theisticle]

Ignoring Ashcroft regarding age, 14 sized sample for 16-17 years is a joke.

is that how small it was? Ok, probably bollocks then

It was only that age group that had such a small sample size mind.

Thanks weepiper and BA.
I have heard a couple of reports that the franchise may be extended in the GE.

Also weepiper,

The middle class fucked us over.

Isn't this always the case.

 

[Chz]

Damn them for actually wielding the power of their franchise.

I think the one great thing about this referendum is the turnout. 85% is fantastic in this day and age.

Heavily weighted towards older folk. Less than 100 18-24 year olds.

 

[butchersapron]

Heavily weighted towards older folk. Less than 100 18-24 year olds.

Yep, because of proportional size of electorate they represent.

 

[Quartz]

Heavily weighted towards older folk. Less than 100 18-24 year olds.

Is that a proportionally correct number?
