    It’s literally the only voter base they have left now. These policies are just to ensure they keep some votes intact.

    But they’re not even attempting to appeal to anyone under the age of 60.

      under the age of 60.

      Do not under estimate the % of 40 to 50 yo who will support this national service crap.

      53 myself. And while I never have liked it. It is far from unpopular in my age group. Add the fact polls are already predicting low 50% turn out numbers in some areas.

      Please please don’t get over confident. Ensure your friends know turn out may well lead to more tory rule. Even if its a minority lead party. It may well effect things once some stupid attack on labours leadership starts.

      Come on we all know a 2024 bacon sandwich moment is coming. The tories may be evil. But they know how to play this game.
