It’s just everyone that argues for increased voting age it’s just because young people vote labour
Well I don't thing there is many arguing for increasing as there are for lowering
I’d sooner lower it then increase it but it’s fine where it is
maybe people should only be able to vote when they move away from home... so its not just their parents vote
Nah a lot of people get different opinions then their parents
Most of my friends have different opinions
Then also then a lot disabled people wouldn’t be able to vote
Student's should only be allowed to register at there home address
mature / indepedent students can register where ever they live.
Students that live at home can vote then?
THat's my faults

Ok
40% off... everything must go!
It’s a none issue for me if there’s ever been a large sized poll on voting age I’m sure most people think the status quo is fine
In that referendum 18 would win most likely
maybe not ... with a ranked voting system
more likely 21 would win
Doubt it
You don’t see anyone arguing 21 to be voting age
"Kill the Tories and Lib Dems so we can have true socialism."
because most of the people who vote are older... and probably will give their 4 and 3 points to 25 and 21
Those that want it to change say 16, a few say 25 that’s mostly it
In ranked voting you don’t have to rank the ones you don’t want to
Ranked voting is how I want elections to be done though
actually if most of the voters are picking 25 as first... then 21 voters will have their second votes moved to either 18 or 25 .. maybe 25 will win actually... in a ranked voting system
Most voters think 18 I gaurantee
Has a poll been done on this I’ll google it
it doesnt really matter what most voters pick as their first rank...
if most picked 18 as their first choice and everyone picked 25 as their second... 25 would win
in a ranked voting system
I’d pick 16 as second
When I google voting age polls I only see stuff about whether it should lower or not
So clearly there’s not much appetite for it to raise
People only want it to raise so labour gets less votes that seems clear to me
And you aren’t thinking loads of younger adults would go out of their way to vote for 18 and 16 so they can still vote in the short term future, a lot of middle aged and older people wouldn’t care
