I think it's a good idea. Not sure it's anything to worry about. As if any but the most politically engaged 16/17 year olds would vote anyway. Why shouldn't they have a say in their future?
Seems mad that he would prefer to do that than proudly defend the many achievements of the last fourteen years of Conservative government on the campaign trail.
Good to see the shy Tories aren't planning to vote this year.
'ThEy ArE aLl As BaD aS eAcH oThEr.' Okay mate. Stay at home. Don't worry about having a say.in how our country is governed for the next five years.

St Cuthman's Wheelbarrow. The story has it that he carted his nan up from the West Country in it and St Andrew's was built where the rope that he hung over his shoulders snapped.
