Angela Rayner accused Labour’s political opponents of “running scared” of young people as she pledged that 16-year-olds would be able to vote at the next election.
The deputy prime minister argued that lowering the voting age will get “democracy back on track” and give frustrated young people “a stake in our country’s future”.
Ministers are promising more “democratic education in schools” to encourage young people to turn out.

It being the UK, this would mean a higher proportion of Muslim voters. I'm sure the UK pols behind this are aware of it.
“Democrats in the USA have occasionally proposed this, but not recently”.
Anything they EVER ‘mention’ means it is on the agenda..................
So I guess they’ll be able to buy a gun, some smokes and booze too, right? RIGHT? Why 16? Modern sweet sixteeners these days have on one thing on their minds. Getting their genitals swapped out and hanging out on Tik Tok all day long. A lot like to compete against girls in sports.
Canada is moving to do this, too.
Not a coinkydink.
Sixteen year olds nowadays are trouble awaiting rescue. Lacking trades and poorly educated. Little self-control. Ready to bear children but not ready to raise them.
I guess the grownups are too stupid to vote. They elect foreign idiots. Same thing is happening here in America. The Congress of Foreign Creeps.
This happened in Germany and it helped put Hitler in power.
The youth are enthusiastic voters, but they don’t have a clue as to the consequences of what they vote for.
LOL!!! Stupid CHILDREN voting, what a world...
I think I remember a movie in the late 1960s where the basic plot was lowering the voting age to 16; it may also have had removing suffrage from anyone over 30, but I’m not sure about that one. Can’t find it in a quick AI search though
If anything, the voting age should be moved to 21.
Great. Now the grooming gangs get a vote.
“democratic education in schools”
The UK’s leftist unionized government-employee teachers will work like never before “educating” the kiddies on who to vote for. Britain’s race to the bottom is about to go to hyperspeed.
Dependent persons who own no property and pay no taxes should never be allowed to vote; violating this principle is a lot of what is wrong already.
No such thing as a UK muslim; just muslims.

They are desperate to keep native born British citizens under the thumb of the WEF planners and place them back under the EU for tight control.
They’ve had little push back from the UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc., only the USA is waking up to their globalists evil agenda.
That’s it; thank you!
They shouldn’t be lowering the voting age... They should be raising it.
Most people under 18 (the current voting age) haven’t got a clue... And given the small percentage that do have a clue... Most young people under 18 would be casting votes based on brainwashing from their teachers or peers, rather than making an informative decision.
I’ll bet Australia and New Zealand will follow in their footsteps.
My thoughts exactly.
Gotta get out the young and stupid vote before they wise up and realize how much they’ve been lied to.
