But try and find something that backs up your claims that Labour did not tap into the youth vote, other than supposition.
You'll have to wait until tomorrow but registered voters aged 18 - 24 were down this year compared with 2014.
Edit 338,269 in 2014. 332,594 in 2017. Source = same as yours. No supposition there that Labour failed to fire up the youth vote. Just simple facts.
