But why am I not ready to vote?

because presumably your only source of reference information telling you how to vote is communist teachers and facebook memes, duh!

If she dumped Boris he would launch a challenge, if she dumped Hammond, we would encourage someone to challenge her.

She is surrounded by people who want her gone, her only option was to keep them there.

If your party has extreme policies then don't be surprised if it attracts extremist nut jobs !!

Former DUP council candidate sentenced to eight years for pipe-bomb attack on Polish neighbours

A former DUP council candidate has been sentenced to eight years for his part in a "naked sectarian" pipe-bomb attack on one of his Catholic Polish neighbours.

Judge Desmond Marrinan told 32-year-old John Smyth Jr that the planting of the bomb was a "despicable and cowardly act" and while it can't be proved he personally left it, "he facilitated the making of the bomb in his own premises with the full knowledge of the evil purposes of the bombers".

As they say: "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Not sure if its true or not but a lot of those working on the fringes of that lot say she has no real friends and few strong alliances in the party.

If only our universities taught people to compare and contrast evidence, find valid and reliable sources, think critically and make informed judgements then we could trust the young to vote.

From the article, dad was also a filthy scumbag as well.

I find it almost hard to believe that even May would stoop so low as to team up with the DUP, but she's so bloody thick and greedy it shouldn't be a surprise.

I skipped all of my "Re-education in the obvious benefits of Marxism" classes because they were at 11am and I was never up that early.

and if only they had the opportunity to spend time conversing with people of multiple cultures and beleifs, not just from the uk but all round the world. if only those poor folk had a platform that could support that....

Because you're not voting how top OCUK forum poster 'LabR@t' wants you to. Obviously.

I have already started 21+

I have already started 21+

I'm 52, I voted Labour! Maybe they should change the voting age to 53 eh!

 

[LabR@t]

But why am I not ready to vote?

It’s a maturity thing. Most young voters simply aren’t emotionally stable and mature enough to be entrusted with election vote, and also lack a stake in the game (income, assets, career, etc.)

You still haven't said why I can't vote. You're just making yourself look stupid.

Edit:

I have a career, I have an income, I have assets, so that's that bit gone. Maturity - how on Earth do you define that? I'm mature enough to have gone out and got a job with one of the biggest companies in the world and done rather well, I've dealt with members of the public on a daily basis and colleagues.

You're utterly ridiculous with these posts - you're trolling, please tell me you're trolling.

At your age you should know better

it's suggested suggested that 18 is too young for those who break the law to be treated as adults, saying “the brain doesn’t finish developing until the mid-20s,” that young adults are “more similar to adolescents than fully mature adults” and that they “are more susceptible to peer pressure [and] less future-oriented.”

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

?

Look up.

Exactly - may as well press the undo button and just stay as we are, saving all the bother and expense.

You can't undo burned money. Besides, if Cameron is such a great guy as so many including here want him back, he was the one that caused all this mess and bailed ship. All of this is because of him.

You may be the exception, all credit to you but you have to admit not all 16/18 year olds are that clued up

There is plenty of support in raising the age to vote, not just my crazy idea.

BBC interviewer asked Teresa May how she was feeling, and her reply was "How I'm feeling is, actually, there is a job to be done"

Can't even answer a simple question.
