theyre also going full voter fraud

i listened to most of his crap in the car

predictably in front of students, the only people naive enough to think this is reality

I bet most 16/17yr olds get their poll cards and just think, oh the gov must send these out to everyone

only about 800 or so have come forward so far asking "why am I receiving a poll card?"

wait - what happened?

actual amount is probably about 100x that amount

i was stuck in a noisy datacentre most of the day

wtf!

loads of uni/colleges signed up all their students without their knowledge

that is massive fraud

the electoral commission has launched an investigation

but tbh... what can they do really.. the damage is mostly done

most likely in a few days tens of thousands of kids will get a postal vote letter

this isnt on the bbc at all

well they must know who they sent cards to - so cant they just refuse all the bad ones?

I dont think its that easy

and they probably signed each kid up twice... once for uni and once for their home address

I can confirm when I was at university in leicester... i received poll card in halls of resident when I didn't register myself

also international students (Chinese, Ugandan and indian) were recieving poll cards. Who were staying in the UK on a student visa ....

When some international students asked on facebook if they were 'allowed', other students on mass said vote anyway....

:\

scary future

be funny if most of them were like... "ok cool, I like these tory guys"

can imagine hong kong and indian students preferring tory

they came to britain... so they must like the country

Yeah, I was post grad for Brexit vote, The week before I invited everyone I knew out to celebrate the result. Assuming leave would win

The only 3 people who came were the chinese, ugandan and indian and 40 white british students removed me from facebook

lets just raise the voting age

double it.. 36 😛

Only people with at least 1,000hours in Europa Universalis 4 should be allowed to vote 😛

Raising voting age wouldn’t work people would protest

would be interesting though... to put out a referendum on what age people should be able to vote at... one of the ranked voting ref votes... so like
a) over 16
b) over 18
c) over 21
d) over 25
and you give each one a score of 1 to 4

Blimey cant type tonight

I don’t want to hear “you’re 14”

People would protest since you’re taking some of their voting rights away

Should stay at 18 tbh

Legal age to be an adult

Voting should match age of becoming an 'adult'

Unless we are changing that just keep it at 18

I dunno if voting is a right... or a privilege
