Voting Age

[littlefish 596]

Never mind the 16/17 year olds who are likely to vote for Taylor Swift or Kanye West or whoever.......just cos........  Those who sit on their arse and don't go to vote have no cause to complain...get your suit on and stand for election.  GET OFF YOUR HOLE AND GET TO THE POLL!

i think trump did real well with the young vote last november....ok not 16 year olds but i think it shocked America how well he did on collage campus

Yes particularly young men. They reckon it was a reaction against crazy bitch feminism. Young men are sick and tired of being 'persecuted' for their gender. I get that.

But Trump as a role model? God no.

I only tuned in today to see if the Newcastle deal for Ekitike had been done, apparently not. f**k him,  he will regret turning down Newcastle in a few years time. And the change in voting age thing popped up. My opinion is that this confirms that we have the most incompetent and dysfunctional government since its formation after the head was chopped off Charles l, they are aware of their unpopularity and rather than have a plan to improve things they resort to widening the demographic of voters to those who may be more easily influenced. Who knows, their last desperate act may end in chopping the head off Charles III and try to blame it all on him?

I would watch if it was on the telly.

As been said I think its another case of Labour failing to  read the room,  the populist parties will likely do the best out of this , Reform and Jezbollah.

You can’t watch a porno or buy a pint at that age but can vote. 

Hopefully their attempt to rig the system comes back to bite them

Only if they don’t live at home with parents, least that way they’ll have more of an understanding what exactly they’re voting for.

Even if it was pay to view? Power lies with the military, something that we have lived in blissful ignorance of for many years. The UK has been the most stable nation in the world since General Monck greeted an exiled king on a beach. The rest of the world could only look on in envy throughout the centuries since. Have we really lost it?

We've,definitely lost a sense of community and British identity. We all sit at home watching the box feeling isolated. Nobody feels valued . One thing I've noticed about British society.... There's a law ...the harder you work, the more you contribute, the less you get paid and the less people think of you.

A farmer said to me once he wished he'd followed his brother into the lemonade business. He worked all hours milking cows and growing wheat. But bread and milk are cheap compared to the mark up on lemonade. He reckoned the more needed and useful your product the less its worth. Had quite an effect on me, cos he was right.
