As for the Tories going back. They removed unpopular policies that were unworkable. A world of difference between that and Labour going back on something they strongly alluded to, and linked to a manifesto promise that pretty much won them the young demographic vote.
Saying it doesn't matter because they weren't elected is a massive cop out.
Sure. However I would say that the importance of that pledge to the vote has been massively overblown by Tories. The truth is even without that pledge the Tories would have still done far worse than expected because they were so complacent.
It's worth stressing again that I didn't vote for Corbyn.
