ROTFL, literally brought tears in my eyes. I did not even pay attention at first.

I've just read that David Cameron has ruled out lowering the voting age to 16 here in the UK, something which pleases me greatly.
I heard about 71% of the <18 vote in the Scottish Referendum was for 'Yes', so clearly in the SNPs interest to include them. I wonder how many of these children even knew the role of a Central Bank.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Politics is the art of bribing the people with their own money. The less money people have the easier they are to bribe. Therefore reducing the voting age to 16 will increase the number of easily bribed voters.

I heard that if the voting age had been lowered they where going to start stocking the polls with Snicker Bars.

My guess is the majority of adults don't even understand what they are voting for so I am not sure including youth would change things much.
However, no way should 16 year olds be allowed to vote. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It's also rather difficult to know what you are voting for, when the party you vote for renegues on its election promises.

Kids under 16 are idiots.
On the other hand, so are most people anyway.

I like Frankie Boyle's idea of lowering the voting age to 2, since most two-year-olds know as much about politics as most adults.

They behave equally, at least : sleep and eat a lot, talk nonsense and deliver tons of sh*t.

Although I live in the States, I don't think children should vote. I actually don't think citizens should vote until you are 25 or 30 years of age, but again, this is my opinion.

Exactly to my point. I would wonder how many "adults" there knew the role of the C.B.

I think it should be upped to about 55. That way people of that age would have lived long enough to have been screwed by both parties multiple times and would therefore be in a better position to decide who screws them the best.

as the teaching profession is heavily populated by the left it makes sense to lower the age into the bracket where teacher have a big impact (at least for labour/Lib Dems)
i.e. before the kids get into the real world and realise that what people say can work and what actually works in the real world are two vastly different things
