I know people who had a baby at 14/15, it’s not illegal. These kind of arguments always end up in weird places. One age of majority for everything IMO. Increase the driving age and extend school to 18 properly.
I don’t think he’ll care. It’s about the level of opposition and the chance to prove yourself mostly. If one of the newly promoted sides comes up with £15m I expect him to be off.
Remove the vote from over 67s. They don’t pay National Insurance, can’t have kids, can’t join the army, and they’re easily swayed by benefit and house price increases and have no stake in the real economy.
This is fun.
Also while I agree that Labour want this cos 16/17 year olds are massively pro Labour, so is everyone under 50 firstly and secondly no one is actually forcing the Tories to completely ignore the working age vote and be the Pensioner Party.
The tax argument is always a little weird. Should the people who are net beneficiaries of the tax system not get a vote either?
It’s 18 cos that’s the age of majority. No need for other arguments. I can’t join the Army at 43, should I lose my vote?
This sort of shite is why I don’t see the Green Party as some cuddly alternative to Labour. Straight up dangerous and anti medicine policy that would result in more dead mothers and children.
Wonder if we’re worried about another Hamer situation where we get a last minute bid. If he was off soon I’d have expected a lot more transfer talk than a weak Luton link.
If we can crack clean power then desalination shouldn’t be an issue, the main problem with how UAE do it seems to be that they dump the resulting brine in the ocean. But surely they could just not do that?
