UK 16 and 17-year-olds to be able to vote in next general election

[D.O.A.]

The voting age will be lowered to 16 across the UK in time for the next general election, the government confirms - here are the key changes announced today

Labour's election manifesto last year pledged to lower the voting age to 16 - in line with Scottish and Welsh elections

Tell us how the changes affect you: One student says it will give young people a say in their future, but another 17-year-old thinks the move will "backfire"

Keir Starmer says 16 and 17-year-olds are "old enough to go out to work, they are old enough to pay taxes"

But the Conservatives question why 16-year-olds will be able to vote but not "marry, go to war, or even stand in elections". Reform are against lowering the voting age - but the Lib Dems say it's a "no-brainer"

16 and 17-year-olds to be able to vote in next general election as government says it will lower voting age in UK

Lowering the voting age across the UK means around 1.5 million 16 and 17-year-olds will be able to vote at the next general election.

Desperate for voters, old twats like me don't as we see the BS they speak, all the uk parties spout shit

Whoever wants to win the next election can win easily, all they need to do is promise to throw out all the illegal migrants like Trump did. I don't know any Brits that wouldn't vote for that !

 

[Mr. Ser Jr]

please raise the voting age to 35 but only for niggers in the YewKoy

This is moronic.. I remember the way I was thinking at 16,17😂

Are 19 year olds turning to the right maybe?

Know nothing about UK politics.

Yeah I heard about this and I have a 16 and 17 year old, there both retards one wont vote cos its what old ppl do and the other will pick whichever one offers a price reduction on skylanders (its a computer game with "collectible" figures......) kids n teens shouldn't be voting they to easily swayed "im voting for him cos he said something about vapes n monster energy drinks"

 

[BeHappy⚕️]

Woo the most impressionable and easily influenced products of a system get to vote.. people who barely know a world beyond school and kitchen sink politics from an idealistic and little thought out perspective

At least the curriculum and preferred teachers here won't influence them at all.. nope
🔱🔥

Great. All the brainwashed masses who couldn't tell their elbow from their asshole. It's even better than allowing illegal scumbags to cast a vote...

To right this wrong they should take away women's voting rights so the net good can be balanced.

It's great to get kids right in the middle of wild progressive left education/brain washing and ship them to the voting booths to vote for progressive parties.

Just fucking great...

As if Britain doesn't have enougth problems...

My assumption is that Muslim families have an average 5 children per couple, and British only around 1.2. This means there are larger numbers of younger Muslims these days, and Labour have significantly relied on the Muslim votes to get into power (and totally fuck our country).

There are more older kids, and even my kids, moving to the right as what’s happening here is so bad. I used to ignore politics and have no particular views. In the past year I am firmly moving to the right.

I know Keir thinks this is a good idea but Labour are trying to ban mobile phones from schools, you think all those potential voters are gonna vote for the guy who took their Snapchat away?
Are they fuck.

Yes. Good point.

You need a party like the Australian Greens who will target anything that gets votes, no matter how offensive. They really went to town on Israel to get the Muslim vote. The party is full of real eco cunts...

Faruqi is a real pig. Here's a taste:

So sad ... At 15 or 16 yo you're still a kid in your head no life experience no understanding of the world rules ... In France we have a proverb : " If you are not from the left at 20 yo it's that you have no heart , if you are not from the right at 40 yo it's that you have no brain !! " Today i am very very very intelligent !!
