But it's not as bad as what Canada are doing, euthanasing the poor elderly.
- Forcing them into a situation where they would willingly choose to die.
I'm sure it won't be long till it's policy here too knowing our kow-towing globalist loving leaders.
After all, Western leaders care more about what the other Western leaders say than anything their own citizens say.
(Unless of course they first manipulated their citizens to group-think it first)

Evidence suggests that being over 18 certainly doesn't guarantee more wisdom. Democracy means that it only takes two idiots to outvote a genius.

In any case, the Baby Boomers will soon be outnumbered by Gen X and the shift in political party support is already indicating this.

The drop in support of the main parties and the rise of the independents is inevitable and increasing as Gen X and soon the Millennials take over the ballot boxes.

There was time when many of the same arguments about intelligence, rationality and lack of life experience were used against giving the vote to women.

The minimum age to stand for election would also have to be dropped to 16.
Thus we could have MsP voting on Education before they have finished their formal education, voting on teachers’ salaries; WOW!!

Hi Issy,

'Nut Jobs' with a gun licence, now there is another reason to exclude one from voting. What about cognitive degeneration, surly some kind of ink blot test can be given to those voting old fogey types to determine their mental competence. Even a short question and answer test could be useful, like; Which way is up? If they don't know, then its out the door!

With the possibility of 16 year olds being elected to Parliament, would Parliamentry attendance over rule the truancy laws or would there be schooling arranged at on near the Parliament so that the affected member(s) could attend to Parliamentary duties, such as a division, when needed?
