Erm the party in government is the Labour Party (clue's in the title). If there are lots of baby Faragists ( God help us!) it's hardly in Labour's interest to introduce it now is it?

The argument for years has essentially been " no taxation without representation". 16/17 years old can work, would have to pay income tax but can't vote. Not sure I agree with that thinking for people this young but that's the basic argument.

July 17, 20251 yr comment_27971603 An excellent and long overdue decision If old crippled pensioners that can barely look after themselves are allowed to vote then I see no reason to exclude younger people when the decisions made by the government are going to impact them the most in the long run Link to comment https://atrl.net/forums/topic/510004-voting-age-to-be-lowered-to-16-in-the-uk/#findComment-27971603 Share on other sites Share on Bluesky Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
