Then parliment in dead-lock again until end Jan's next No Deal panic but next EU will likely not agree an extension.

I'm aware there will not be time to let them vote in this GE I think they should be allowed to vote.
If he looses the amendment and if it's allowed (which I don't think it will) then he will pull the election bill.
Wants it his own way as usual

psikey Publish time 25-11-2019 21:40:42

No, if 16/17 ammendment passes there's no election this year. Why Libs arnt supposedly backing it.

I know what it means I'm merely saying from a personal point of view I would like to see our youth voting that's all.

"16 year olds pay taxes" is dubious as well.

Most 16 and 17 year olds are in schools, colleges or other education and or training. Percentage seems to be around 80% or higher.

About 4% are unemployed.

In single percentage figures are those in full time employment and that will be on a lower wage than that of an adult.

If 16 year olds are so responsible, why aren't they allowed to buy tobacco or alcohol?
