    The math says no - UK youth is too disillusioned with its nation to reliably fight for it under pressure.

    Nationalism is the domain of our older citizens, while our youth has grown up under a government that has slowly stripped them of their rights. We do have a lot of propaganda around, but most of it is anti-government, so no loyalty gIns there.

    A draft would only be likely if an invasion of the UK were a possibility - and I suspect folks would fight against occupation.
