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.”

The most a 16 year old “contributes to society” is buying condoms and Clearasil.
> I bet the Tories get their butt kicked next time around. <
Yep. Some polls have Labor up by 20 points or more. The Tories governed incompetently. But once Labor gets in, they will triple the incompetence while adding the soft fascism that leftists just love.
As you noted, the UK is toast.
and video games! Lots and lots of video games!!
Yep, what’s up with that? Those who contribute to society should have their say in voting? But how much do these teenagers contribute?
Sounds like a worldwide Soros conspiracy to lower the voting age.
It definitely is, in my book.
My thoughts exactly!
OK, so maybe show a paycheck stub to be able to vote.
Amateurs. Just do what the DEMs do now: Create ballots out of thin air. Process the same ballots multiple times through the counting machines after the main opposition party has been locked out of the room.
If age 16, why not the unborn? Most would vote against abortion.
The Tories adopted the left’s plan and ran with it and now their voters, who wanted none of the left’s insane policies , are going to abandon them. They are going to get slaughtered.
The despicable reptiles ruling the UK plan to sacrifice these youth in the Ukraine War. The Ukraine can never openly declare war against Russia, because their military-aged immigrant population will flee the country and they would actually have to pay decent wages to the British.
Typical RAT behavior.
I am all for giving 4 year olds voting privileges. They are not as biased as adults.
Why is the USA still in a military alliance with a self-destructing nation like the UK?
What in the world possessed them to adopt the left’s insane agenda in the first place? That is what I want to know.
Imagine parents trying to get 16 year olds to clean their rooms or take out the trash.
The UK has th3 same kind of electronic voting machines we do.
Between that and the convenient changes in election law that have been passed in the last few years, the UK is screwed until they secure their elections.
The commie libs know that young skulls of retarded mush are the secret to winning every election.
When will Australia, New Zealand and Canada enact the same ages for voting?
