Gee, I wonder why UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour Party want youngins to vote in elections.
“I think it’s really important that 16 and 17-year-olds have the vote, because they are old enough to go out to work, they are old enough to pay taxes, so pay in,” said Starmer. “And I think if you pay in, you should have the opportunity to say what you want your money spent on, which way the government should go.”
From Sky News:
They can already vote in Senedd elections in Wales and Holyrood elections in Scotland, but this will mean all 16 and 17 year olds across all four UK nations can vote in local, regional and general elections.Up to 9.5 million more people will now be able to vote, the IPPR thinktank said. The latest figures show 48,208,507 people are registered to vote.The last time the voting age was changed was in 1969 when it was reduced from 21 to 18.The government has said the change will “boost democratic engagement in a changing world, and help to restore trust in UK democracy”.
Granted, the Tories don’t want the youngins to vote because they know how they will vote.
Either way, both parties don’t care about your rights or if it’s the right thing to do.
As usual, they only care about their political future and power.
