I'm on board with Jacindamania.
I'm still waiting for Billmentum
What did the Nats do to deserve this clobbering with young people? There isn't a Brexit situation in NZ and Bill English hasn't beem campaigning on social conservatism right? Is it because of rising tuition fees and lack of affordable housing for young people (or other economic issues)?
The youth vote in the UK was about far, far more than Brexit and Tory culture wars
I guess austerity also played a role, but May did much worse than Cameron with young voters. If it was about austerity or other economic issues the Tories should have imploded with young voters in 2015, and they still got 32% of the 18-29 vote. Maybe Corbyn energized young voters more than Ed did, but I think Brexit and culture wars were very big reasons for the Tory implosion with young voters.
Wasn't turnout extremely low amongst young voters in 2015? I don't think it was entirely about culture wars, because not only have young voters been disproponatly affected by austerity, but also if it was about Brexit and culture wars, why didn't the lib dems do better?
