I jest a bit about them getting out of bed, but let's face it were any of us interested in the slightest in politics when we were young? Now there are far more distractions.
This is why I have no idea what possesses anyone to think 16 year olds should be given the vote.

I'm the same. I might have considered voting Lib Dems if it wasn't for the bonkers stop Brexit stance.

But not enough of us are convinced of it are we? And the majority of people once they own their own home or earn a certain level of income seem to change their attitude from idealistic to currently reality to protect what they have.

Now, here's a question, do we all vote what is best for us as an individual, or do what we vote for what we feel is best for the country, even though it could be to detriment of own individual circumstances?

I own my own home, have a certain level of income, (though doesn't that apply to everyone?), but would love a society similar to the ones Shmmeee refers to.
It's not idealistic, it's totally selfish, sacrifice some monetary wealth for healthier, happier life style for myself and my family - no brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Most people wont even consider it. They will vote for who they've always voted for.. thinking it's the best option, whatever policies the party has.

We don't ALL do anything except live, breathe & die.

My previous post sums it up I think. Once we have personal comitments/responsibilities like kids to look after is the obvious one...we tend to become what is going to place us in a better position to provide the best we possibly can for them. The more general social responsibility diminishes & efforts in that direction to most people becomes relatively token.

But YOU aren't enough to change the majority who think more inwardly. It doesn't mean you're wrong. Just personal conscience is different

As I’ve already said if I wanted to vote selfishly I’d vote Labour

Maybe, but I feel it has become a lot more mudded these days and there isn't the stark difference that there perhaps used to be between the parties. Labour - working class and the poor, Conservative - Middle to upper class and the rich.

Sometimes I think it is hard to know what Labour and the Lib Dems stand for and I am not just talking about now under Corbyn. Blair's New Labour mudded the waters for sure.

Bang on same with me. And for the rest of my family. It comes down to the core values you were brought up with.

The modern times more people are materialist and inherently selfish.

perhaps marriage should be banned and everyone should be allowed to fuck everyone else. That way we'd all be related, and have a vested interest in looking after each other.

They've been trialling that in Nuneaton for years with disastrous results.

Mainly austerity has caused the problems so yep tories take most of the blame. Happy to support foodbanks and pay more of my salary in taxes that will make our society fairer

That's what the right wing vanity project of Brexit has done, and I'd disagree I think young people care more about society, climate change and how the country has been divided than the older generation.
