As a 17 year old tory, if we allowed 16 year olds to vote, the conservatives would lose their "majority". Considering the idea that people support labour as a student, and then as they progress through life become more conservative,, as their social economic value increases. Ironic, itis hard to imagine why one would remain politcally affiliated to a party, which no longer supports legislations or policies that benefit the individual, I.E labour, who make irrational claims, to entice younger votes, which unforunately the majority don't seem to understand the mechanisms of politics and economics; the labour party are notoriously known making this foul trickeries and idiotic statement, such as the abolisition of tuition fees, having an envy towards private schools (which help benefit social mobility, evidence: I recieved a 98% scholarship to Harrow School) and having a maximum wage*. It's ludicrous, the only reason why previous smalle runiverities such as Leicester and Nottigham grew was because of financial investment from tution fees, otherwise only Oxbridge would dominate
