Just as Blair planned a permanent Labour 'base vote' by a combination of keeping a large number of people on various 'benefits' and handouts, and lots of immigration, lowering the voting age will be another 'base vote' because it is easy for the naive to be influenced by the idea that 'taking from the rich and giving to the poor' will be 'fairer' and will solve all the worlds problems.

Why stop there, keep the young strong and well nourished , by bringing in compulsory euthanasia at 70, turn them into soylent green ? No more pensions, care homes, NHS waiting lists, what's not to like ?😂 I'm sure we could get it past the ECHR, and the EU have likely already thought about it, obviously those with 'elite' status could live out there lives and spread their progressive 'wisdom' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that your policy would, of course, exempt politicians and retired civil servants, as they are the only folk with enough wisdom.

I totally agree, many politicians of both sides of the house and all colours, which is partly why I believe our system is so broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are EU nationals allowed to vote in our elections when we have absolutely no reciprocal right to vote in theirs? The Migrant Democracy Project (a left wing pressure group) wants to give the vote to all migrants. They will have support from within the Labour ranks because again its gerrymandering votes for Labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should certainly stop MPs, those in the Lords etc after 70, because they won't have a clue what it's like being 18-21 and looking for a decent job, I'm not 50 yet and I've no idea, but I've got kids so I've at least got an interest.

They should also block those who have not done 10 years in a proper Job, and parliament researcher is not a proper job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 How about a simple solution, only those who pay net towards the state in taxes should be allowed to vote as they are ultimately the ones paying for everybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Sunak to introduce National Service. I have to ask will it be optional for his kids (be damned sure that they'll be getting the one weekend a month civil commitment choice instead of the one year in uniform obligation) just as UK Income Tax was optional for his wife?

Mr.C Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Can't see National Service being enforcable can you? And who would round up those 10,000's who refused, the Police? They might have enough to do. Smells like desperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dainty duck Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 (edited) What about bringing National service back for the unemployed that would work ! and will give team Stammer more votes ,LOL Edited May 26 by dainty duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
