Young adults (18-25) will, this month, have the biggest impact they will ever make-the EU referendum and its outcome will be chosen, not by the old people, as has been the way in recent years. Instead, whether or not young people come out to vote.

I make a plead, a once in a lifetime plead...

If, as I hope, 18-25 year olds go out and vote, they will have a huge impact on the outcome of the referendum. 

38% of 18-25 year olds voted in the 2005 election- that was the turnout. This compares with the national average of 61.4%.

if young people go out and vote... they'll have a huge effect on the turnout, especially as, they tend to vote 3-1 for in...

REGISTER TO VOTE BY 7th June. https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote

This is a once in a generation vote, where young people can show, they're a demographic worth looking after, perhaps even showered with the wonders of a free bus pass ;). Make way, old people!
