Reducing the voting age to 16 in UK

Here is a ridiculous way to keep the liberals in power. Let people vote who aren't out of high school, know basically anything, and aren't old enough to marry. These are the people we want managing our country. Well they are, IF you are an insane "liberal" (new use of the word, which is anything but the traditional definition).

The UK is going to become a disaster, even bigger than it's worthless economy, based on service and finance. 20-30 years to collapse.

Thank goodness this is enshrined in a Constitutional Amendment in the US!

    There are Twilight Zone (from the movie) and Star Trek episodes (Charlie X and Trelane) about this, and the idiots are still doing it.

    Hmmmmmm, what free stuff would I have wanted when I was 16? What restrictions would I have lifted? Let your adolescent imagination run wild...

    If only we could go back to the original requirement of being a property owner to vote. Voting should be for those with 'skin in the game', not those wishing to game the system.

    I thought the research showed their brains weren't fully formed until around 25. This seems to be going the wrong direction!

    If only there was something requiring all voters to be present and alive when voting, and that voting machines can't be used because there is no way to audit them for accuracy and veracity, and penalty of death to cheaters.
