Joined up Government

So Labour has suggested that the voting age be lowered from 18 to encourage participation on politics.

They also propose increasing the age at which you leave education to 18.

So what they’re saying is that these teenagers are fully competent, capable people who are sufficiently mature to take decisions on who should run the country, but who are incapable and insufficiently mature to decide when they should leave school, or indeed, smoke.

So are they adults or not? Come on Comrades decide one way or the other.

Commie shits

Oh Nick, what a valid point! :D

I think the Labour lot were attempting to address the small fact that they have destroyed these kiddies' education and think for some strange reason that by forcing them into school for longer will do that...ahem.

As for voting age - well Labour need their votes and as most kids these days as a result of rubbish schooling are complete utter dunces, it shouldn't be too much to expect a scribble against their box in the election (if it ever happens)
