Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

But did she. The likes of Grieve, Clark, Gauke etc were still there to frustrate Brexit.

Perhaps that was a driver for an election.. she needed more support.
But it did not exist.

Yes she did. Then spanked it away on a whim .

Her majority wasn't big enough due to the number of remainers, especially in her cabinet. Also the number of leavers against her deal.

Ha ha , she thought she could convert her popularity into seats and it backfired massively. Poorly advised.
But you keep blaming anyone and everyone expect those who's fault this is.

Oof! Who did I blame? You are the one blaming May , I've made no comment other than she was struggling to get a majority with the number against her in her own party. Try reading my post and clearing the fog from between your ears before replying.

There has to be a line somewhere. Why can't it remain at 18? As I said, its a debate worth having but it needs to be done sensibly and with full scrutiny. And bear in mind, that by lowering it to 16 there's a whole host of other legislation that will need to be amended. Do you want a 16 year old in adult prison? Not trying to twist it with a bit of emotional blackmail, just trying to show that the issues extend well beyond a "here's the vote, go and have some fun."

Strange that the Labour leader is keen on this since he was the one that stated a 16 year old doesn't know what they are doing when talking about the young 16 year old that run away to be a terrorist bride.

Anecdotal evidence is as much use as a choc fireguard. And that's why I posted, several times, that reasoned debate is required, including all the knock on legislation.

Weird how the tories aren’t when they allow 15yrs old to vote for tory leader.

Good to see Boris still talking bullshit

If you can't see the difference between a private organization and a public wide GE then there's nothing I can really counter with.

Me, you and everybody else get to vote for our “Local” MP in a GE, this summer 15yr old’s got to vote for a PM to run the Country, if you can’t see the hypocrisy from the tories in that then you need to have a rethink!

So what's your argument for the way Labour elect their leader and the LibDems elect their leader. You should run for parliament.

I love that the BBC web site has an article on how to register to vote. Really? It isn't that difficult.

Having, in the past, been a member of both parties (not anymore) I do like the way that you support the man who has turned many supporters off voting Labour. Unfortunately all 4 main parties in the commons have turned into extreme organizations.

Sorry but unless someone knows how to register how would they know how difficult it is or not

They could Google it, which now might come up with the BBC website

Hats off to them for telling people how, if only 100 people register and only 5 more people vote because of it that's 5 more people having their say

And there will still be those who moan that they were excluded from voting.

Or as many live in houses/flats etc, they will have received a registration form through the letter box.

I don’t think, as stated, any under 18’s should have the vote, but choosing when they can and when they can’t to suit your own purposes is wrong.
members of the tory party who were under 18 had a direct impact on the lives of every other person in this country this summer, to then say they wouldn’t understand what they are voting for in a GE is a joke.
Why do you need my opinion on Labour and lib dems? It’s no different to my feelings about the tory party except the other 2 tried to drop the age. Still wrong though imo.
