16 year olds have no life experience so it is a stupid idea to give them the vote. They can be influenced or brainwashed by people they come into contact with eg Woke Teachers.
I think Voters should be UK tax payers aswell as UK pensioners.

I can't even imagine that most 16-year-olds would have any interest in voting or politics. I would be very interested to see what percentage of people vote by age group. I would bet that it goes up once people have a bit more experience of life and what the result of your choice of government means.

They are pretty desperate. I said if they were elected they will be hard to remove andI I fear they will try anything and every thing to stay in power. By the time the people eventually get rid of them, we will be full members back in the EU and this country will be destroyed.

How can the prize 'Duck Egg Starmer' decide to give the votes to 16 yr old children.
When a 16 year old child rapes or murders someone isnt their identity kept hidden because the law says they are children at 16?

Starmer is acting like a Dictator & getting away with it.
What do 'genuine Labour MPs think about this useless man being their Leader? There is not a drop of Labour blood in his body.
He is 'upper class' pretending to be 'working class' and thye Party believes him..
Why do Labour MPs just sit back and say nothing?
Is it because they'll get sacked for opposing the plonker?
He has wrecked their party & is going to wreck the Country if he's allowed to do whatever he wants.
This week he's sacked quite a few Labour Ministers that didnt agree with him.
Strange how the scandal about those foreign boys that he knew and who set fire to his car & house' was dropped? The press would have made a big thing about that story if it had been Boris.

I saw some 16 year olds being interviewed on TV this morning. They may have been hand picked, but all were very sensible young people and interested in politics. In the future they may make better MPs than the useless lot we have now.
