It's actually interesting as there's been a lot of variability in the polls, with the polls using 2015 turnout data still suggesting a 10% victory for the Tories (although this is a damn sight better than the 24% from a month ago). Ultimately it is the young who will decide this election. They need to turn out and vote, only 43% did in 2015. It seems they will, and even a 60% turnout would be a big blow to the Tories. So let's hope they do. For those on the other side of the pond and interested but not following, the reason for the dramatic tightening in polls is a combination of a great Labour campaign and manifesto and a Tory campaign so bad even their supporters are calling it one of the worst ever. It is loaded with unpopular policies like Fox hunting, the dementia tax, scrapping free school meals, and Theresa May is hiding from the public. This all culminated in tonight's debate, in which Theresa May refused to appear, instead sending Home Secretary Amber Rudd (only days after her father died, no less).
