Basically.. Yeah.

Oof

You have levelled up to minor boomer

They don't understand what's happening in Syria for example, who the actors are, what each party policy on the matter is, the type of leaders each party has, the power of their vote, etc.

and no - most 16 year olds are bordering on retarded in terms of political awareness

Nathan

Even at 18, people just vote as their parents do

Your standard voter

Doesn’t understand

And shouldn't be voting. @PureEvilPie

The situation in Syria

Yea ofc

Raise the voting age to 80

They shouldn’t be

I agree

So why allow a 16 year old? ...

most 16-17yrs wont be bothered to vote... the only ones who will are the indoctrinated activists

brainwashed kids from the far left schools, great

But until they implement a minimum educational level for voting

Then I think 16 year olds are just as informed as your pensioners

They tried that in the us with literacy tests

If your average Joe can't understand shite, why allow teenagers to vote...

lmao

overwhelming majority of 16 year olds will vote as their parents or teachers tell them to

Any kind of test to vote will be a bad idea

False @The Electric Lizard

It would raise multiple problems

Overwhelming amounts of voters vote as they have voted their whole lives

A lot of people in general vote based on how those around them vote

Tribalism

Tfw I actually converted my parents to tory

doesnt really matter anyway... that amendment didnt even get to the floor

That was a mistake @JackH670

That was dumb

No

Toryism is cancer.

Oh wait jack is upper class

We don't need more Tory voters..

It makes sense for him

Yes we do

The Conservatives are a good party
