Huge growth in number of electoral registration applications

I know, I know. The only “new” electoral registration figure you’re allowed to report is old data from December, and even then you’re only allowed to report it wrongly and you mustn’t mention the newer data about it going up.

So ignore this graph showing the volume of electoral registration applications made centrally via Gov.uk, because we’re all doomed, democracy is dying and the world’s about to run out of chocolate.

P.S. Today is deadline day to get on the electoral register in time for the general election. So do register now if you haven’t yet.
