Imagine believing labour under Starmer will do anything they say they will. Keir has never met a promise he hasn't reneged on.

The exception I missed out, was that any right wing pledges he makes, you can absolutely take to the bank. It's only issues that could be considered progressive that he has no interest in.

Without any pledge to undertake a massive house building project, you can file this under "imagine believing labour"

They are young adults at 16. Give them their say.

Well it doesn't necessarily work that way
Political history had Labour reduce the voting age to 18 for the 1970 general election. However Labour lost that election. If Starmer really wanted to do something to stay as PM and lead governnent in power he should adopt PR for future elections. Because as sure as anyone can be, of the 2 main Parties only Labour at present has anything in common with ALL the other Parties elected to Westminster except for the Cons. Adopt PR Starmer as voted by over 3 to 1 at the last Labour conference and he'd have the hard-line Cons messing themselves. That's how he could more make sure he stays in power. |

It's their future to come so I totally support this.
I've heard many times more sense from 15 and 16 year olds than from many, more decades older. Definitely I agree with this correct plan in my view. |

The only people who think young people are wise are those whose political views haven't evolved since college.

You become an adult in the eyes of the law at 16, you can pay taxes at 16, you can decide to join the army at 16, if they’re old enough and responsible enough to make those decisions, then why shouldn’t they vote?

You might not fully be an adult at 16 but I agree. Teenagers were never as infantilised as they have been in the last five years.

Yeah, well, I’m talking from my experience and partly anecdotal tongue-in-cheek and that’s just the way it is, Liv.

The Cons would probably be screaming for it. I was fascinated with and involved too as to politics at 16. I was at 16 planning my then hopeful future. I would have loved to be able to go and vote for who as a government I wanted to then affect my planned future. Last edited by joeysteele; 22-04-2023 at 10:54 AM. |

I'm not "sorting out" anyone, both are common misconceptions.
