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

2019-10-29 19:03:03 UTC  

Historically speaking no they won't be

2019-10-29 19:03:18 UTC  

“These young kids these days, all they care about are their facebooks and their duck faces”

2019-10-29 19:03:25 UTC  

Basically.. Yeah.

2019-10-29 19:03:29 UTC  

Oof

2019-10-29 19:03:35 UTC  

You have levelled up to minor boomer

2019-10-29 19:03:37 UTC  

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.

2019-10-29 19:03:45 UTC  

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

2019-10-29 19:03:46 UTC  

Nathan

2019-10-29 19:03:49 UTC  

Even at 18, people just vote as their parents do

2019-10-29 19:03:51 UTC  

Your standard voter

2019-10-29 19:03:56 UTC  

Doesn’t understand
