Inclusion on the electoral roll isn't optional - if you want any credit product of any sort it's pretty damn important that you're registered. There will be plenty of non-voters who are registered for whatever reason.Philip wrote:I can't imagine it will affect the vote that much. Brand's current shtick is telling people strictly not to vote - so even if the interview did persuade those people to vote Labour, we've already passed the registration deadline for it to make that much of a difference.
Yes - I was automatically included on the electoral roll when my parents were asked if there was anyone turning 18 in the household, for example - but there was a huge push a few weeks ago to get young people to register (well, on Twitter at least). This young audience is presumably what they're trying to get by doing the Brand interview.WillPS wrote:Inclusion on the electoral roll isn't optional - if you want any credit product of any sort it's pretty damn important that you're registered.

In any case, I don't think you can make them change their minds that easily, but who knows. Personally I think it was a good idea, in terms of engaging his audience with politics.
Ah, that explains it. Thanks.bilky asko wrote:Household registration is being phased out, hence the big push from some circles to get people to register.

Yet when the tories left office in 1964 there left the country with no money, its pot calling the kettle black.
