Should the voting age be raised to 30?

Dementia is a growing problem so lowering it to 50 would be a good idea....I would guess that takes out most of chit chat.

People suffering from dementia are not likely to vote though. I think oldies have the most valuable votes of all, they have earned the right and with age comes wisdom. I also think every government in the last thirty years has treated old people atrociously.

30-50 and only men

only people who thnk like me should be allowed to vote.

End of.

Next question please.

or only people who have more 3 million in their bank account

I'm not eligible for that until next payday

wit ham you might qualify as a Brexiteer or Trumper.

We can waive the £3 m threshhold

There should be an IQ test and a common sense test, and you should need to pass both.

remember that blackadder episode about a by election....think blackadder says the population was 16 000 but only one person was allowed to vote

Clyde...

Labour'd get no votes with your rule

It would rule out Corbyn

Seriously though it's ridiculous to allow the uneducated and feeble minded to vote so I too think that attaining a specified IQ should be a pre requisite.

Yep, passing an IQ test before being allowed to vote is an excellent idea. Perhaps we could start a petition, get it up to 100000 signatures so it gets passed to parliament for discussion.

I thought it was reported that the uneducated and feeble - minded were the people who voted for Leave

yes, pains me to say, judging by suunderland vote.

clever wons moved morp !

exactly

not everyone`s vote should be equal
someone born in a country, their vote should be worth more than someone just arrived
perhaps a 10-1 ratio

someone at the bottom of the socio economic ladder, their vote should be worth more than a middle class vote.
perhaps a 2-1 ratio

anyone who insists on ignoring the poor, such as anyone who voted remain.
shouldn't be allowed to vote.

morning lfc,may I say sorry for calling you a very rude word the other day,but you appear to be rather blinkered sometimes,still we cant all have the same opinion,and whos right and whos wrong anyway?

not even a problem terry, to be honest I don`t remember you being rude to me but I think I may have been to you !

sorry if I was, and thanks.

Terry, you might have been rude, and I might have been rude
people who tell the truth are always rude.

there are some people I don't wish to be civil to (not yourself)

because if they are civil to me I would have to show the corresponding civility to them

and that is something I would wish to avoid.

call it a 1-1 draw

The forum posting age should be raised to 30 as well. Remove all the people who still have student memories and ideas, but no job and too much thinking time.

Voting may eventually be phased out in London once independence is declared by our friend Mr K.
