Reduce Voting age to 16

[gant]

I'm not even bothered which way they vote, or if they change views after time, or don't even bother voting.

But if you tax someone, they should be allowed a say

Even though your inviting them to vote in a sham, where's the morals in that?

Yes I can see that.

I can vote, you can't. I know better than you.

Admirable qualities

What are you on about ?

Absolute rubbish as usual from you! I don’t think 16 years are mature enough to vote.

You can’t handle an opinion that’s not yours.

Everybody has to learn about the world. Not everybody sees it the same as you, or me

No. Totally wrong.

I don't care how they vote, it appears you do. Now, tell us about YOUR opinion being the only 1 allowed, again


Thought you had some wine to open anyway

I thought my point was the way of the world is not something the education system should be adjudicated to be doing, as they're infested by a cabal of people of an ideology that is hardly balanced.

So, you leave school at 16, pay 3 quid in tax week ending from your job. That allows you to help make the choice on who runs the country?

Maybe wait a couple of years and get some life experience. Or 5 imho.

Oh I see. The more tax you pay the more your opinion counts

No, life experience allows you to case a vote.

Or are you saying-Pay to vote ?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

No, life experience allows you to case a vote.

No. I am saying if you are old enough by law to have to pay tax, you should be allowed to vote.

You appear to be supporting paying more gives you more voting rights.

No that just suits your narrative.

Try again. But try harder.

Do you agree it's not right to be charged for a product but not allowed to take the product ?

Only the views of older people are allowed?

Tax isn’t a product to allow a vote at. And rightly so.

Word it/spin it how you want.

Maybe you resent paying tax ?

I begrudge every penny wasted.

So start taxation at the age that is right to have an opinion at then.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

You resent paying tax and think all immature minds over 16 should help shape our future ?

That’s your entire argument!

I don't agree with some viewpoints regardless of the age of the person.

I just think it's fair that if you're taxed you should have a say. You don't. Is it because your view is right ?

No right or wrong. My opinion is 16 year olds aren’t mature enough to vote.

That’s all I’m saying.

But you think it's OK to tax them .

It's a double edged sword

Well let’s hope if they do get to vote they have a damn site more common sense than the 16/ 17 year olds we have employed over the years
