In the results of the survey, published by the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), a further 71 per cent of those asked have said that Brexit could influence their voting intention – potentially more so than traditional student issues, such as tuition fees.

If these findings are proven correct on December 12th, they could have a significant impact on the outcome of the general election. Sir John Curtice, a professor at the University of Strathclyde, is quoted in The Independent as saying that ‘effective tactical voting’ by students and Remain voters could deprive the Conservative Party of ten seats.

Professor Curtice, who has also recently hit headlines for saying that the chances of a Labour majority are ‘close to zero’, went on to say that although tactical voting alone would be unlikely to turn a Conservative majority of fifty seats into a hung parliament, it could turn a majority of ten into one.

The director of HEPI, Nick Hillman, was also quoted in The Independent warning that the advice of some tactical voting websites is ‘worthless.’ Nonetheless, he believes that the student vote could ‘make a real difference’ in some constituencies, such as Canterbury, Bath, Oxford West and Abingdon.

On students’ attitudes towards Brexit, the YouthSight poll has also revealed that 74 per cent of students believe the outcome of the last referendum was the wrong one. Meanwhile, 70 per cent of those asked want another referendum and 73 per cent would vote to Remain.

In Redbrick’s own survey, the following question was asked: ‘Would you be willing to vote tactically in the December 12th election to achieve your desired outcome with regards to Brexit?’ Of the 100 respondents, 82 per cent answered yes with the remaining 18 per cent saying not.
