I’d be happy with it set at 16, as politicians’ decisions affect them and their future eg education and climate change. A good way to encourage civic responsibility.
By that logic, babies should be given the right to vote.[/quote]

Not to mention the thousands of billions spend on an illegal war and all the fallout from that.
Right on Lilly – some Blairites are going to be butthurt about this attack. The rest of us were busy protesting the Iraq War.

A family man, no less:
Hi there. There was no ‘democratic will,’ just a very narrow majority brought about through proven cheating.
I agree about Blair, but he’s a Tory who was carrying out Tory policies. That’s why Margaret Thatcher referred to him as her ‘greatest achievement’ and why he’s vehemently against Corbyn.
It’s the Tories that are splashing out tens of billions on a completely unnecessary brexit, amongst other things.
And Chris Grayling alone has cost nearly £ 3 billion in political blunders.
This idea that the Tories are good with the economy is a myth pushed by their billionaire friends in the media.
[quote quote=177201]I see the Daily Post has canvassed the views of over 31,000 good folk and the results are very intresting. Roll on Brexit I say.

There’s nothing in the link.
It baffles me that people will forgive Tory austerity and the damage it has done to everybody around us, but especially low paid workers, children, disabled people, pensioners and our public sector workers like nurses and the fire service.
I don’t know what goodies you think brexit will bring, but Johnson’s deal isn’t even brexit. When a handful of billionaires say ‘this is good,’ they mean ‘this is good for us.’
The trouble with consultations is that, often, they simply harvest the replies that agree with their plans and discard anything that doesn’t and then at the end of the day proclaim ‘we asked people, this is what they said.’
When done properly and not against the backdrop of austerity, consultations are a good idea, but not when they are processed in a cynical way, such as above.
She works in Wrexham and in social care, so she’ll know not only the local area and people, but also about important issues here affecting our elderly, disabled and vulnerable population.
In a first past the post system, a vote for the Liberal Democrats will only help the Tories.
Kenneth Clarke was on TV recently, warning that this was one of the most right-wing governments he has ever seen. Coming from somebody who served under Thatcher, that’s pretty worrying.
People can play the Labour candidates off against perfection, but for me personally, the top priority is to keep these Tories out.
