Cambon Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 13 hours ago, HiVibes said: Average life expectancy is around 80 years old, so 64 as cut off is pretty lenient, if that were the way forward, though I prefer the idea of double voting rights for 16 - 32, as it really sets the right focus. Interesting idea. The problem is that most of the 16-32 year olds cannot be arsed to vote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Onchan Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 14 hours ago, HiVibes said: Oh there should be much much fewer. One way this could be achieved in the long term is by addressing the democratic deficit for young people, why is it for the first 16 years of a life a young person has no voting rights when they are the most important section of society and would vote for a better future? And yet over 70's have a vote when they have absolutely no future. This deficit could be addressed by - delgating an extra vote per child to parents ( bit messy) - giving younger voters a double vote from ages 16 through to 32. - take away the vote from those who have no interest in a future. ie over 65's These sorts of measures would encourage young people to particiapte in politics make them feel valued and deliver future focussed policy, and as a by product no more old chuffs mining votes from old clueless dears who don't even know what year it is.

emesde Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 We are so lucky to have hi vibes to be able to offer his totally reasonable views. All he is saying is that anyone over 65 shouldn't be allowed to drive. Anyone over 64 shouldn't have a vote Anyone over 65 shouldnt be a drain on the health service. I presume they must also pay maximum tax to help support anyone who he dreams worthy of extra benefits. We are so lucky to have people like him insulting everyone who he deems should be insulted. What a totally obnoxious person he seems to be. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, indeed: certainly better for the mental health than obsessing about the shopping lists of complete strangers. But each to their own, I suppose… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
