Influx of new, young voters could sway UK poll


LONDON, Nov 26 (China Daily/ANN): Amid the countdown to Britain's general election on Dec 12, figures show that there has been a surge in voter registrations, which could end up having a major impact on its outcome and the future direction of British politics.

Many new voters will be first-timers, too young to have voted in the 2016 referendum that was to settle the country's relationship with the European Union, which is widely regarded as being the most important single issue of the campaign. Considering how Brexit divides opinion along generational lines, new voters could be hugely important.
