I'm not sure that "we should remain in the EU because that way we can contribute troops to the EU Army" is necessarily going to be a massive vote-winner. For either side.

Re: Bollocks to Brexit
No but, rather than leave the notion of The EU Army out there like the shark in Jaws, it might help if more people had a better understanding of it.

Mocking would be something like "Leavers really are dicks if the numpties don't understand that there isn't an EU army @joswinson."
I think anyone who isn't a paidup member of the "Libdems are Losers" club will view it as a perfectly reasonable, mildly irritated commentary on the sort of shit our elected representatives are being subjected to hourly. Even the very obscure ones.

Most break up on or around the first week of December. So students will be home.
The key is to get them to register at home as well as university (which they're allowed to do).

Re: Bollocks to Brexit
But if we assume that the student vote is predominantly anti-Brexit (although I don't think we can assume it is so pro-Corbyn as a few years ago), the debate then becomes about whether that anti-Brexit vote is best concentrated in a fewer number of seats with Universities or diffused across all their parents' constituencies.Regulator wrote: ↑4 years agoMost break up on or around the first week of December.

Presumably, in principle, they can apply for postal votes in their university constituencies?

Re: Bollocks to Brexit
Oh dear, how sad... what a devastating blow to British politics and the public discourse around Brexit and the EU.

Sarcastic? Moi?!?
