Conservatives Popular With Students

The most interesting bit of information I've found out recently, is that the Conservative Party have been found to be the most popular political party with students currently. In a poll of students in May (details of which you can find here), the Tories gained support from 45% of those questioned, with the Lib Dems on 31%, and Labour 24%.

The figures have been recalculated to only include the three main parties, probably because of the disproportionately high numbers going for Respect, SWP and the like, although this is unlikely to have helped the Conservatives that much.

Oh, those of you who are students at MMU and happen to support the Conservatives, then good news. There is a branch of Conservative Future being set-up for September. Check us out at the Freshers Fair, or join the facebook group for more info.
