    Should we change the voting rules before any new referendum

    Scientists now believe that Adulthood does not begin until the age of 30, as our brains are not fully developed until that age.

    In light of this new scientific fact should the UK now lead the world in raising the age at which someone is eligible to vote to 30. After all is your brain is not yet fully developed until the age of 30 have can you possibly know what you are voting for at an age earlier than that.

    No I think it's fine - you see it means people like this can get the vote

    and she is literally a communist.

    Although she does not seem to be enjoying the finer things like hard bread and gang rape but hey - she is literally a communist.

      You’re a cretin if you think that one idiotic person represents an entire age group.

      It’s not that difficult to find people with cretinous views (left or right) at any age group, from 18 to 80+.

      Which age group do you fit into?

        ...and as early-onset dementia can start from as young as the thirties, probably best that people over that age don’t vote either.

        Oh, just noticed. Daily Mail. Good source of science news then.

          Completely agree. We should change the rules for voting age in the next ref (Accept May's Deal vs Remain) - we should allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote as it is their future we are impacting.

          should remove the vote for the retired, as they have no concern for job losses as their income is secure. Plus, they are more likely to have dementia and hence are not of sound state and mind to cast such an important vote.

                An excellent article.The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn should be required reading in schools. It is worrying that marxist ideology is alive and well and lauded by the politically correct.

                I believe in one man, one vote. Where I'm the man with the vote. Hi, my name is NAT. I'll be your fascist dictator for the next 60 years.
