VERY interesting article on the voter turnout in the #UK election. I assumed the 'stay aways' were disaffected #Conservative voters. Nope. It was "the have-nots", as the article says.
To me, the biggest takeaway: #Labour's intention to LOWER THE VOTING AGE to 16. Excellent: those new voters have far more skin in the game than, for example, I do.
