This commenter raised an even better point:

If 16-year-olds should vote just because they pay taxes, then those living off government welfare shouldn’t be allowed to vote either.

Shouldn't the issue itself be put to a vote?

I love how they talk about democracy while ignoring it.

His stated rationale here is that 16-year-olds can legally earn a taxable income and should get "a say in how their tax dollars are spent."

So, I then have to ask:

  • A 6-year-old can pay sales tax on a stick of gum, should they have a vote?
  • A comatose patient may have to pay property or income or capital gains tax on their holdings annually, should they have a vote?
  • Estates have to pay taxes when people pass away, should the deceased have a vote?
  • Corporations pay tax, should they get votes?

This is only happening because young immigrant browns make up a huge portion of that age group and will vote for anti uk things all day every day.

100% this. They know that kids are becoming overwhelmingly more brown foreigners than white natives and this is done to diminish white voting populations.

  • A 6 year old is not earning money. They are spending money that is really provided by the parents
  • Yes, obviously.
  • No, they're dead
  • The people who run those corporations are paying the taxes. They vote.

This is likely because kids are easy to manipulate, or easier I should say, than someone who has lived through what voting a certain way for too long does to a place.

Kids vote further left than the rest of the population by a huge margin. That's it.

It may also be that many of the migrants to the UK are young as well, and we know which way they would vote of they could

Kids don't know SHIT about how the world works.

That's why they want them. Naive young skulls full o' mush with no concept of future consequences.

I know. I was just like that when I was 16.

Firstly, taxation is theft.

Secondly, with their importation and catering to the very worst of the Muslim hordes, and their values when it comes to children...I guess nine year olds should vote as well.

If the government just shrugs when you're the victim of a Sexual Emergency, you clearly deserve representation as well.

Personally, I think you should only be able to vote if your age is 25-60. Let's go. This is mostly tongue in cheek, for the record. But I do think the initial voting age should be raised, not lowered, if we're touching it at all. Kids are retarded, and it's a conflict of interest too, since they're either still in or just coming out of "public education," aka government brainwashing camps. Might as well just give politicians the only votes, and let them all vote for each other.

Which is basically what they want. Any time a politician talks about changing the way voting is done, it's because they think it will benefit themselves, their party, or their caste.

Expanding the franchise is done specifically to disenfranchise you. Don't fall for it.

Fuck it, only 25-45 by default.

You can have still have 18-25 and 45-60 but only after passing a civics test, iq test and meeting an income threshold to prove you're actually a contributing member of society, informed and of sound judgement.

If there's any reason society as a whole deviates from the desires of productive members of society in that mid range, it's probably not a good one.

Yep, younger people tend to skew left due to the left-progressive controlled 'education' (indoctrination) system.

Voting is obviously a scam, so I say lower the voting age to 0, and while you're at it, allow non-citizens and felons to vote also. All of it is meaningless anyway.

Why should incels be penalized just for women not being attracted to us? And why should the wealthy get special treatment by limiting certain rights to only net positive contributors?

They did their research and I assume it showed that the youth are more left-wing than the average population. Otherwise they wouldn't do it.

They considered something like that in Germany too but realized the youth is TOO FAR left. They either vote right-wing or straight up communists. The mainstream uniparty types don't do well among the youth in Germany. So they suddenly stopped talking about it.

I don't know, given the seemingly gross incompetency of the UK government for years now, I think this'll be another thing that bites them in the ass.

As the younger you get the voting age, the more grooming victims who are HEAVILY anti invader you get.

Most of the victims are probably proinvader because they invaders are the ones getting them drunk, high, fucking them and having total control over them. It's a woman's fantasy.

I was going to make a joke that the next step will be to lower the age of consent.

But looking it up, it's already 16 UK-wide.

from that post

Until you are at an age where you can do all things legally in the UK, drink, smoke , buy a house, pay full taxes, marry, then you have no right voting in things that you have no knowledge about.

In britain it was the case that you could most of those activities at 16 then they were pushed up.
