Hopefully Labour will add an upper limit as well.

That would be a good idea tbh…..

In 2038, you will still be able to blame the previous Labour government. That's how much damage they did. Thank your friends Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

By far the biggest issues of the past 20 years have been the financial crash, Brexit, Covid, and Ukraine. Three of those were global issues and one a Tory issue.

I know, and it’s frightening that they have a vote, of course soon it’ll soon be schoolchildren who will have a vote when Starmer gets in…lucky us……

If the experience in Wales, where 16-18 year olds have the vote for Senedd elections, is anything to go by, you needn't worry over-much. I believe less than 50% of those eligible registered to vote. I don't know what proportion of those who did register actually voted.

I hope first thing on Friday he says new Brexit vote to take place next year.

People aged 16-21 their vote counts as 2 votes

21-40 Their vote counts as 1.5 votes

41-60 Their vote counts as 1 vote

61-70 their vote is 0.5 of a vote

71 upwards is 0.01 of a vote.

Migrants should be allowed to vote as well. After all, a country is celebrating its protest against taxation without representation tomorrow.

I'd do it slightly differently. National vote to reconsider brexit now we all know what we do regarding it's complete success*.

There is no undoing brexit, the rebate will never be agreed to again, the cosy deal thatcher struck with europe is gone. Amazing that it took depraved tories to undo the only positive thing of note their personal satan gave to the people.

Blair gave the rebate away….

Think they were still picking up the pieces after Arthur Balfour.

What age are you by the way, just trying to road test the practicality of this idea.

Blair gave the rebate away….

That's not my recollection. Funny eh.

Why have you crawled out of the woodwork today please Pepe? There's been weeks of this detritus and you've not made half the effort you have than in the last 6 hours.

Please, pray tell...
