Voter distribution does not correlate with voting intention. Something the 2nd Ref chaps at Labour should have paid attention to in 2019….

I see your point about political motivation, but maybe we should be expecting 16 year olds to be more involved in the world around them, and they have a responsibility to take part in society.

That would indeed be true. I don’t think you should have an upper cap FWIW, but it’s not reasonable to suggest that lowering the voting age by 2 years is going to turn us into some kind of rogue state.

I think it’s a good idea, and I’m not sure it’s any more controversial than capping the voting age at something like 75. At the very least they have a say in the country they have to live their adults lives in.

Yet no coherent policy around how to break the mechanism that allows this to happen. Just send off the victims to Rwanda.

I’m not pretending it isn’t safe. But seeing as we take a tiny proportion compared to Europe then maybe those that get us have done so for other reasons like family connections and support networks.

We were involved in Afghanistan until recently, we sell a large amount of weapons into the Middle East too. All of which has displaced a large amount of people.

Furthermore as a country we choose to support/engage in military action across the globe. Whether you support or oppose this position is one thing, but we should be accepting of the fact that people will be displaced as a result, and we have a moral responsibility to provide shelter for them.

I’ve done it over two trips to Scotland and also took in the Outer Hebrides and Isle of Skye as part of the second trip. Truly breathtaking scenery.

Again, how exactly do you determine that? You can’t speak for the safety of 30 other countries.

Who are you to judge where a potential refugee may feel safe?

Halfway through Eric on Netflix. Cummerbund is an excellent actor.

It’s not going to ever resolve though is it. We already have a huge skills shortage, and if climate change continues there will be a huge exodus of people in Europe, of which some will inevitably arrive with us.

Or retrieving Doug….

It’s happening by stealth, whilst the main services are defunded year on year, and the staffing crisis gets worse. See also education.

Combined IQ? Yeah

Another Akehurst classic…. I can see why he’s such a catch….

The four Jewish MP’s that chose to leave and form part of Change UK? As for the other part, your centrist hot take is no more a fact than my opinion. Anyway we are now here in 2024, your guy is the one ambivalent on genocide, happy to endorse candidates that tried to subvert the course of...

I mean who did he actually force out? The Change MP’s left of their own accord, championing a new way for politics, only to lose every seat they held. He did lose 54 seats though, of which 52 were in constituencies that voted Leave in 2016…. It’s almost if his weakness on not adhering to his...
