Voting age to be reduced to 16

[blup]

Government announces voting age will be reduced but is this naked political opportunism?

 

[Old Salt]

Labour needs to do something to get people to vote for them again. Those who haven't voted before are the easy option because they know no better!

 

[motorbiking]

They hope the young will vote Labour.

They probably won’t vote at all.

A lot of young people think starmer is a tool.

A few old people think Farage talks sense.

 

[blup]

Younger people - 16/17 - might be as likely to vote Green as Labour, especially if they find their voice isn’t being listened to.

I have mixed views on it, there again they can work full-time and have adult fun times so why not I suppose.

 

[Brigadier]

work full-time

That's tantamount to swearing: wash your filthy mouth out!

A lot of young people too

 

[JohnD]

Hahahaha

A lot of non-white people too. Whenever Mrs Motties friend (who canvasses for Reform) starts a sentence with "I went to a meeting last night….." I always jump in with "National front or Ku Klux Clan?" She never sees the funny side of it and always tells me of the many non-white faces that are turning up to these Reform meetings.

Pinky gammony faces?

Not every Reform party supporter is a racist.

But every racist supports Reform

Overrun with Arabs?

Well, his father was a toolmaker. As he never tires of telling everyone.

 

[Lirefighter]

Yeah, he also said he'd smash the snaggling guns, and release the sausages.
He's a tool alright.
