What is the age in Britain?

Indeeda
yeah, there are libs in the US who want to lower it to 16
All the libs want to make the voting age 16 but that's retarded
yes
25
Like you have to account for students retardedness to vote for parties who say "no student fees" in shit
yeah
Students wont vote
Because they dont care
Not after Brexit
its bad enough with all this college debt in the US
Political studies classes have gone up by 30% over here
The college students are falling to the left
^
I hope my generation is smarter when college comes for us
the oldest are in college now
but i myself, will not take a loan for college
If i don't have a full scholarship
im going to community college
Fair
property ownership, net tax positive in last 5 years and one year of military/public service is only answer to voting rights
married couples can't do their taxes together to exclude all net takers from elections
Why would you want a Plutocracy lol?
It's not really a problem of who can vote but how.
Representative democracy doesn't do a good job at keeping its voter base informed, and the media deliberately keeps it this way
Party politics and the media circus drummed up at election time aids in voters turning it into nothing more than a sportsball game where they just want "their" party to win no matter how shit they are.
In effect, the multiple party system is a sham.
Anybody who is seriously working outside of the two parties in the real world knows this. You can explain every aspect of your policy and get somebody to agree but they still won't vote for you because they've got some Game of Thrones blood oath to their party "because my dad voted for them, and so did his dad and I'm gonna uphold the tradition" or whatever the fuck.
It's a waste of time.
It should be a one-party system where individuals vote according to the field they work in (agriculture, industry, etc.) which exists to advise the government how best to proceed on certain policies. That's the only way I can plausibly see informed votes happening.
>plutocracy
dude, anyone working and responsible with money can buy a house and be net positive
leftist retard
Please explain to me how someone can just acquire a couple tens to a hundred thousand in cash my dude
Not to mention that such a system would create a pretty huge bubble as people would be rushing to buy real estate once it’s implemented lul
Oh and maybe define how much “property ownership” yad need to qualify to vote because like that you’d just create the bizarre trend of people buying micro patches of land or buying empty houses without actually living in them
