TBH I knew that was what you meant, but increasing the voting age to 25 would simply be so unacceptable even the Tories wouldn’t propose it.Sorry should have explained. There’s neuroscience research that shows the brain doesn’t mature until 25, so there’s an argument to make that the age of majority but in reality I don’t think anyone would accept it.
There’s no real logical age that makes sense where you’re a child one day and an adult the next, I think 18 or even 21 is fair though.
Which is kind of my point. Standardise it either up or down, I don't care which - experts will know better than I. But standardise it and don't view people as responsible enough to work, procreate, and be responsible for another life while not being able to vote.But 18 to watch or buy porn. Strange rules

Don’t agree and it’s completely unrealistic to expect teenagers under 18 not to have sex.We moved marriage up to 18, it’s weird we didn’t do the same with sex TBH.
Anyone who thinks these milkshake stunts are genuine needs their bumps felt.
As Tice conveniently tweets:

You might be right

So would you ban over 18’s with learning difficulties who have a mental age less than 18 from voting?I think I am, yes, given the area of the brain responsible for judgement isn't fully developed at 16.
If it isn’t about maturity then 13 year olds should be able given the vote. In truth, we all know what this proposal is about and if 16 year olds were more likely to vote Tory it wouldn’t be being suggested by Labour.

It's not, she was in the Midlands todayYou might be right

One of my Daughter's went on a date at 16 with a 37 year old man...it happened only once mind you.That’s not what the age of consent laws are for. See my link earlier. Under 16s can have sex with each other and not get prosecuted. In reality it’s to protect children from adults. Be honest if your 40 year old mate rocked up with a 16 year old missus what would you think?
That's exactly what someone who was planted to throw a milkshake would sayEmily Hewertson is denying it was her that threw the shake.
My Dad has no clue what is going on or who anyone is and is in end of life care. He will receive his postal vote.Or people with dementia.
Anything other than age of majority leads to messy edge cases and unintended consequences.
Zero seats, zero seats, Tory Party. Zero seats, zero seats, I say. Zero seats, zero seats, Tory Party, playing politics the cronyism way*banging table*
Zero seats! Zero seats!
Watch this then go on about how they’re all the same and you’re voting Green. I fucking dare you.
You on glue again mate?Do you think, as with the French Revolution, you've just lost your way and just turned into a group that resemble Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety?
It’s very good. I can imagine you with the tears in your eyes and your upper lip quivering as you watch it.Watch this then go on about how they’re all the same and you’re voting Green. I fucking dare you.
The stuffing of the doctors mouths? You mean the founding of the NHS? Yeah that'll make people hate labour.It’s very good. I can imagine you with the tears in your eyes and your upper lip quivering as you watch it.
I would be surprised if an equally telling but negative newsreel couldn’t be put together featuring the same politicians. I would imagine giving away the gold reserves left after the previous stuffing of doctors’ mouths and dodgy dossiers leading to wars would heavily feature.
I think the same - positive and negative - could be produced for the tories. They are all poliical pygmies and none of them really worth me voting for.
Starmer is unconvincing and seems like a useful idiot placeholder. Sunak is no better.
Starmer is miles ahead, he doesn't need to be but Sunak is fucking awful.This is a poor excuse for a debate, neither look impressive. Though Sunak interrupting both Starmer and the moderator every time they speak is especially irritating

via the incredibly unscientific method of looking at my twitter feed thats what I'm seeing as the general consensus. Kinda sums up the whole campaign really. Sunak useless and nobody wants to vote for him, nobody particularly keen on Starmer or really sure where he stands on pretty much any issue but he isn't Sunak.This is a poor excuse for a debate, neither look impressive.
