Election 2017: Young voters changed the economic game plan - and what the DUP can bring to the party

It was meant to be an election about Brexit but it turned into one about new young voters and what they wanted. They wanted change. What they got was a minority Government, a coalition between the Conservatives and Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party (DUP). But there are five more years until the next election and anyone 14, 15, 16, and 17 years old now will be able to vote in the next one. As well as some 13 year olds. They’re now part of the discussion like never before. Simon Lambert, Georgie Frost and Rachel Rickard Straus discuss how this is likely to affect our finances now and over the next five years. Can this Government even implement anything from their manifestos? How will they tackle impending debt and housing crises? What the hell will Brexit look like? Can they tackle the intergenerational inequality that the new voters clearly crave? Rachel explains the financial and economic plans in the DUP manifesto and how that’s likely to clash with Tory plans. You don’t get stuff like anywhere else. Enjoy.
