The left-wing Labour Party has vowed to lower the voting age to 16 years old in a blueprint for the party’s next general election manifesto.
In a move being described as a craven attempt to “rig the electorate”, the Labour Party’s National Policy Forum’s final report released late last week states: “Labour will introduce votes for 16- and 17-year-olds, in line with Scotland and Wales, so that young people feel empowered and can fully engage in our democratic processes.
“Those who contribute to our society should have a say in how it is governed.”

I believe the is voting age in Scotland is 16. Innit?
Double democracy. The people choose the leaders and the leaders choose the people.
“Why is the USA still in a military alliance with a self-destructing nation like the UK?”
A more complete question is why are we still in defense/intel alliance with the so called 5 eyes countries?
5 eyes = UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and America.
“Yep, what’s up with that? Those who contribute to society should have their say in voting? But how much do these teenagers contribute?”
How much do our illegal aliens contribute to our economy?
“Why is the USA still in a military alliance with a self-destructing nation like the UK?”
Because the USA also a self-destructing nation ?
“Why is the USA still in a military alliance with a self-destructing nation like the UK?”
“Because the USA also a self-destructing nation ?”
We seem to be on that self destructing path with many of our so called allies!
“Five Eyes is more unified than ever.”
I’m of the opinion that the voting age should be raised to 25 and only after 2 years of serving the country in some way.
You repeatedly make that false assertion despite repeated correction. NO voting machines, of any kind, are used for elections to the United Kingdom Parliament.
