Why not limit you to x amount of votes per lifetime? So you have to choose carefully when you use it?

Why are you so keen to disenfranchise people?

Just thinking out of the box.

Just thinking out of the box.

Out of the box?

You've left the reservation mate.

What problem do you think you're solving?

 

[adolf hamster]

Ok, cool

no problem, well if you want to come back with something approximating a reasoned argument to support your extreme viewpoints i'm sure we'll be here to have an intellegent debate.

Just thinking out of the box.

If you were doing that you'd get some decent responses instead all you've done in this thread is jump from 1 crazy statement to another, the hypocrisy in your posts is quite evident also.

 

[LabR@t]

I think you're overstating that a little. Apart from a few fringe nutcases, I'm not aware of any serious support for raising the voting age.

Your post didn't warrant a reply, I know some stupid 18 year olds, it's pointless.

People voting for something you don't like?

 

[StriderX]

I know a ton of stupid over 50s, touche.

Do I ? Your opinion I guess

Exactly it's pointless.

No, it's not. I'm a labour voter and no fan of Dave but we can't blame him for this, or for bailing.

He ran the referendum reluctantly, and warned us all not too do the thing. You can't blame him for dipping out when we ignored him

He did bail after giving you the choice. He didn't have to call it. Regardless of UKIP.

Hmm, you don't know what an exploratory question is or what it's purpose is, do you?

Satisfy my curiosity for me - do you have a degree/have you been to uni?

 

[adolf hamster]

Exactly it's pointless.

so you've just agreed that age is no measure of maturity, which is entirely contrary to your original premise that the voting age should be raised as young people don't have the maturity to "vote sensibly". see the hypocrisy yet?

not that you've defined what level of maturity is required to vote sensibly, aside from some nonsense about "the real world" which was quickly countered.

like i say, until you come back with some kind of reasoned argument for your statement all you're doing is adding to your own ridicule, unless of course that's your aim in which case jolly good show!

I'm starting to think Boris is the most cringeworthy politician of modern times. His latest tweet about the guy who knifed him...
''It's a GOVErnment of all the talents. Welcome back to Michael!''

 

[Nate--IRL--]

Is there any actual data on the Age breakdown in this election yet?

I came from a single parent family and a working class background, got into Oxbridge, worked hard and made something of myself – no thanks to the modern Labour Party or the tender support of big government

I came from a poor, single parent family in Essex. I grew up on benefits, not that it is tremendously relevant...Despite coming of age at the peak of New Labour’s power and popularity, our supposedly benevolent welfare state was at best an irrelevance and at worst was an an outright hindrance to my progress.

Everybody on the news seems to think this current govt is doomed and can't last the year.

A fair few saying TM can't last more than a couple months.

Seems like a completely hopeless situation for the Tories now. Got to smile

 

[wildman]

Gove as environment secretary lol...

we the ammount of hot air he spouts it's a post fit for him.
