Labour candidates knocked on the door asking the missus how we voted. Proceeded to scowl and give her a lecture when she said Green. Great way to make me regret my decision!
Douglas Adams answered this the best.
"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
Think I saw that on pornhub?And just in case anyone thought I was totally anti Cov Labour.
Spy report from my mother. Duggins came knocking on the house door yesterday. She was impressed. Sorting out her little issue.
I think the most interesting thing to watch for will be the Scottish results.
It's on the East side of Scotland you need to watch out for. This side is the part of Scotland which are more likely not to vote for the SNP regionally.
The addition of the second Scottish independence party in the Parliament vote may tip the balance for independence against the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems etc but again the seats that are most likely to change first are the Edinburgh side which are a lot more conservative in their views.
it's a werid voting system up here, and 16+ allowed to vote.
how about centralising everything in Glasgow?'
I thought they already had in the People's Republic of Glasgow.
I remember thinking it was upmarket when the Pizza Hut had cheese already grated
Allowing 16+ to vote is a good thing both Scotland and Wales are doing.It's on the East side of Scotland you need to watch out for. This side is the part of Scotland which are more likely not to vote for the SNP regionally.

Facebook is absolutely full of right leaning 50+ year olds now
The younger generations are moving away from Facebook and its very much the social media platform of choice for the boomers and they believe literally anything they reach on Facebook.

under 21s shouldn’t be allowed the vote
Why? Plenty of adults that haven't got a clue politically so why should they get to vote? Lots of people that have never experienced much of life outside their own little bubble, be that due to wealth or poverty, if they're in the arts, sciences, business. What gives them the right to have a say on all those other things they have no idea on? Plenty of kids of 16, or even younger, that will have more experience on what it's like to deal with the issues that affect most people in this country today than JRM ever has or will.
Should we argue over-80's shouldn't get the vote because they're much more likely to be in cognitive decline?
I'd imagine you'd be just as happy for 16 year old to have a vote if they were likely to vote conservative yea ?
Let's be honest there's only 1 reason you want to give 16 year olds the vote , because they are likely to vote your way.
I don't think people should be driving at 17 either though tbhI'm not sure why one is allowed to drive, marry and reproduce before they can vote
That’s bollocks. It’s their future and they should have a right to contribute their opinions.I'd imagine you'd be just as happy for 16 year old to have a vote if they were likely to vote conservative yea ?

Yep. You can have total responsibility of a completely helpless small human but putting an X in a box? Nah, mate. You don't know enough of life yet for that.
Kids are having babies at 13 /14/15 though
Completely. I swear I used to think communism sounded like a good idea when I was 16.I'd imagine you'd be just as happy for 16 year old to have a vote if they were likely to vote conservative yea ?

But they're legally allowed to reproduce at a younger age than they're allowed to vote. Far more personal responsibility in looking after a kid than voting.
Which is fine, but at the moment you can drive, marry and reproduce before you can legally vote. Either lower the voting age or raise those

So where do you draw the line with that? Black and ethnic groups are less likely to vote conservative. If you’re going to start coming up with reasons for sections of society not to have the vote it needs to be more comprehensive than who they’re likely to vote for.I'd imagine you'd be just as happy for 16 year old to have a vote if they were likely to vote conservative yea ?

Life experience Tone old chap. Got to draw the line somewhere... or shall we let toddlers vote? Free lollipops for the under 5s would be a vote winner.So where do you draw the line with that?
