Young voters
Hard to say haw this one will pan out ,all the old parties not getting in to the younger voters.
The greens and Russell brand getting the attention of the young. And the smash the banks occupied moment
Will we one day see a very young trendy new party evolving from this lot ?

I would hope so, the more the merrier and hopefully better representation for all. Anything that encourages young people to vote and take an interest in the country and it's running must be a good thing.

Students I saw being interviewed were torn between Greens and Labour, no mention of the Liberals

I cannot see young voters having any great impact in May, if they follow Russell Brand they won 't vote and I cannot see the Greens making great inroads.

The greens ,or the peoples party as they used to be known by ,have seen a big increase in its membership in a short time. Well out striping the numbers that ukip have attracted.
I think this has taken the greens of guard on there joke policy documents.
Now will we see a more in tune policy tuning and party infrastructure change ?
Judging by all the media big guns attacking them ,the establishment must be very uneasy at there growing numbers and young appeal .

Howard
Grant is back peddling on his don't vote speeches ,he in now saying don't vote for the old parties .
Grant is very good at getting things over ,,he is very funny but a political novice
If this changes, the left will have a very powerful young front man,
With deep pockets.

Wonder how much of the rise in the membership of the Green party is down to a certain holiday company offering free membership of the party with every holiday. Must add up to quite a few I reckon.

Thats for me then anything for a holiday even my vote phoning up today. Thanks.
"O DEAR"I have just looked at that again,I was reading it as a free Holiday for joining the party but it is the other way round.
So I am back to not voting.
