It didnt get them independence even though lowering the age was designed to swing it

And people with an IQ lower than 70 shouldnt vote either. Sorry Jamelia.

God she’s a moron

yeah

"Lets see what you think in 20 years time Jamelia" :fist:

If that's the case, 16 year olds are also mature enough to go to Big Boy Prison instead of Youth Detention Centres. It's an area people always overlook when they think 16 year olds should be able to vote.

Also, you can join the army as an apprentice at 16, but you don't go on active service till you're 18.

Jamelia… every time she opens her gob she confirms she's an idiot.

Never fails to amaze me how bigoted this woman is.

"Old people don't get a say! Isolate them! They'll be dead soon!"

"Fat people shouldn't be allowed! Stop selling clothes that fit them!"

Wonder what her next ignorant sound bite will be.

:umm2:

Voting should never be for an elite. That's the point of it.

Yes, if there's one thing we all know, it's that age brings with it maturity. No exceptions. :smug:

And IQ test for voting would be awful, I'm afraid to say. I mean, Brexit wouldn't have happened BUT we would have a permanent Tory government... because people who are of just-above-average intelligence are clever enough to know the basics of how capitalism works and that it's the only large social policy that works in the modern western world - but they are NOT clever enough to understand that modern capitalism ONLY works when it's propped up by select socialist policies.

Next election......old edith, bonnet on, draped in a long fleece jacket will make sure she hobbles the 400yrd to the polling station. shopping bags in each hand to cast her tory vote...cause she's a game old bird.


Spotty Darren still in bed playing with his cock.

Slay kween, ha is so amazing, we love :p

Maybe it would be better to implement the rule that everyone eligible has to vote

I think it was TS in another thread that offered up a table that divided who voted what into age and education and it showed that basically, older less educated people were basically voting in ignorance, that being said, I think as long as you are elligible to vote, you are entitled to vote.

People are entitled to **** up the country more than it is already.

Yet at 16 people can legally have sex :rolleyes: , I always find that weird .

Here's the chart from the other thread - https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.ne...-28/vote1b.png

What you got to remember is that it was far less common for the older generation to have gone to university, with fewer places available. It was only in the 90s that university attendance took off.

Many people that went to school in the 60s left when they were 15 or 16.

So obviously if older people support a certain position then that position will also be supported by a demographic with fewer or lower qualifications.

It doesn't mean they are less intelligent though. I don't think it is helping the remain case when an argument like that gets made.

i went to Uni in the early 80's and it was less then 5% that went on to any form of further education. By the time it got to post grads it was less than 0.5 %. That doesn't mean people were stupid, uneducated or unaware of the implications of issues of the day.

My own belief is that people remember what a cluster **** the EU was, where France dictated terms, where the common market stored up butter mountains that then went to waste to keep the price high to benefit french farmers. They also remember that we managed just fine before the EU ... so why not just go back to that again. The problem is that the world has moved on, both in terms of a global economy and the standards and regulations now required to trade. It's not the same, and it never will be. The days of us being an isolated powerhouse have long gone.
