Apparently, the Brits are keen to hasten their own demise.

16 year-olds are easy to manipulate. They can use social media to get them emotionally wound up to vote certain ways. It’s exactly what they want.

I get that people don’t like this but what is the argument to not let them vote? That they are too ignorant and immature? Do you think that 30-year-olds or 50-year-olds in the UK aren’t ignorant and immature?

Desperation, the entire EU continues to shoot themselves in the foot. Blowing the Nordstream pipeline, importing illegals and Muslims, piling on unsustainable debt with ludicrous social programs, and getting deeper with the Ukie war, etc, etc…….suicide, easy to see how they will break up.

Why not lower it to 13 years old? Or no age limit at all?

How can you govern a nation of imbeciles? The UK is done.

The Bible has much to say about “ the age of reasoning”…they turned from God and his word awhile back….cementing their demise.

I know how my 16 year olds reacted when they did not get their way. I cannot wait to see them get upset when “their” candidate loses an election. I mean…it’s NOT FAIR! LOL

16 yo's are in school all day, with woke crap shoved into their craniums.

What's gonna be "taught" on election day? Will it be GOTV for teacher union local and national candidates, budgets, ballot questions?
