we joined the EEC ... and voted to stay in that

2019-10-29 18:54:43 UTC  

I have complete contempt for those wanting to allow 16-17 years old the vote, and EU nationals. Only British Adults should be allowd to vote. Either wait to be an adult, or become a British Citizen.

2019-10-29 18:54:50 UTC  

We can veto it, But our MP's have been shown to lie about their position on the EU so i wouldn't be surprised if against the publics wishes the Government decided to give away our veto

2019-10-29 18:54:53 UTC  

And then voted in governments and a parliament which accepted the expansion of the EU @wacka

2019-10-29 18:54:56 UTC  

So yes. We voted.

2019-10-29 18:54:58 UTC  

then it became the EU... and EVENTUALLY we got a vote on it and chose to leave

2019-10-29 18:54:59 UTC  

Up the voting age to 21

2019-10-29 18:55:24 UTC  

We had elected members there at EVERY stage of the process @wacka

2019-10-29 18:55:27 UTC  

every campaigning PM back to tony blair promised a referendum on the EU

2019-10-29 18:55:29 UTC  

Actually, just allow people who pay income tax to vote, whatever age

2019-10-29 18:55:43 UTC  

we voted them in because they were going to give us a vote on the EU

2019-10-29 18:56:03 UTC  

only one actually delivered on that... and we voted leave

2019-10-29 18:56:40 UTC  

we dont even let 16yr olds watch game of thrones

2019-10-29 18:56:48 UTC  

It depends on the person

2019-10-29 18:56:54 UTC  

I'd let them

2019-10-29 18:57:00 UTC  

Some 16 years olds will know enough and be mature enough to vote

2019-10-29 18:58:05 UTC  

to quote sargon "depends on the child" 😛

2019-10-29 18:58:19 UTC  

Well in this case it does

2019-10-29 18:58:50 UTC  

.

2019-10-29 19:01:11 UTC  

Personally I'd only let people in employment and home owners vote

2019-10-29 19:01:14 UTC  

16 year olds can work

2019-10-29 19:01:16 UTC  

Be taxed

2019-10-29 19:01:28 UTC  

I say only landowners can vote

2019-10-29 19:01:32 UTC  

And many are just as informed or more than the 80 year olds

2019-10-29 19:01:35 UTC  

Yeah, if you work I'm inclined to say that you can vote

2019-10-29 19:01:50 UTC  

Bring it right back to the last civil war the UK had

Doubt that @PureEvilPie

2019-10-29 19:02:09 UTC  

HIGHLY.

2019-10-29 19:02:13 UTC  

I’m fairly certain 16 year old olds can join the reserves and army as well? Or is that the 17 year olds?

2019-10-29 19:02:14 UTC  

We should just keep the current system, Anyone 18 or above can vote

2019-10-29 19:02:27 UTC  

yeah

2019-10-29 19:02:32 UTC  

Nathan your average 16 year old will be much more connected to the world as a whole

2019-10-29 19:02:33 UTC  

16 with parental consent, but are limited in what they can do

2019-10-29 19:02:37 UTC  

And knowledgable of the world

2019-10-29 19:02:44 UTC  

Than your typical 80 year old

2019-10-29 19:02:48 UTC  

They're more connected to Snapchat.. Instagram..

2019-10-29 19:02:54 UTC  

the system isn't perfect but it's better than the alternatives

2019-10-29 19:02:58 UTC  

You’re sounding like a boomer Nathan
