    Its looking like Labour's decision to give 16 year olds the vote is going to well and truly kick the in the teeth. When it was either Labour/Tory that were the only realistic options to vote for a "contender" the majority were virtually nailed on Labour votes but now the Greens have entered contention and this generation looking like they are much more ideological either way (right or left) they may just have added more green votes to their left!

    Assuming quoted correctly, unequivocal imo. I suppose the next question will be the ref / ratio of “part” but 68k is pretty damning. Thanks for sharing.

    Primarily because a number of their citizens were massacred and a number taken hostage.

    Hamas held those hostages, triggered a war and then left their own citizens in harms way.
    Those hostages were not returned, because it suited them politically to hold them as they strangely gained support the longer they held them to keep the war going.

    Hamas weren't gaining support, the Palestinians at the receiving end of a disproportional response did.
