Vice Chair @jazz072.bsky.social tells @yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk many older voters backed Remain & now campaign to #RejoinEU. But no-one born this century voted #Brexit. #Labour lowering #VotingAge will increase that number. Let today’s voters have #EU membership say? #UKPolitics #GenZ #YouthVote

Having spent 8 years teaching in secondary schools I know there are many 16 & 17 year olds who are capable of entering the polling booth with well-informed intelligent and astute political opinions...

...Having spent 5 minutes on Nextdoor I know there are many grown adults who aren't...

⚖️ In Japan you can vote at 18. But at 17, sharing a campaign post online risks up to a year in prison.

On Sept 25, a Tokyo court ruled that ban unconstitutional for the first time.

The 4 young plaintiffs still lost.

“Many other countries like Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Scotland and Wales have already lowered the voting age to 16, and New Zealand, Canada and Germany are following their lead. It’s now Australia’s turn.” #AusPol #MakeIt16 #suffrage #VotingAge

My daughter said "now Andrew Tate's boyfriends gonna vote Reform". So I think their hysteria is ridiculous. Working-class GenZ men are drifting to Reform by way of the manophere and fitness gurus.

The right-wing press is going mad over votes at 16 ("a naked attempt to twist democracy in Labour’s favour", an "election-rigging move"...)

Oddly, they said the same 100 years ago when the voting age for women fell from 30 to 21.

Let's revisit the Mail's campaign to"Stop the Flapper Vote Folly"...

A Labour government lowering the #votingage to sixteen and returning a *lower* vote share than before will be both funny and tragic but mostly funny.

Lowering the #VotingAge has become a contentious issue, but it shouldn't be - my letter in tomorrow's Metro:

The Labour Government sticking to its pledge to lower the #VotingAge to 16, and to widen valid proof of ID are welcome steps in the right direction.

Let's see if the media (news & social) push hard on the 'they're all the same' attitude in order to create apathy among this new portion of the electorate.

Because apathy = less voters.
And less voters = a right wing government.

Instead of lowering voting age to 16, #Starmer should think about creating citizens' assemblies and introducing sortition into election systems.
Because voting proved to be not a safe way to democracy.

(Also, there's a reason if 16yo are legally considered minors.)

#votingage of course #ReformUK and #ToryScum don't like the idea of younger people voting, their base is a bunch of racist old gammons. And indeed, if I pay #tax and #nationalinsurance I should have a vote, well done @teamlabouruk.bsky.social #Labour you've upset all the right people, again!

Do England's 16 and 17-year-olds feel ready to vote in the next General Election? The Children's Commissioner wants more support for them to feel confident voting in elections.
