She's definitely not very nice, as a lesbian she makes a point that she gets a lot of abuse from men. Who I think she clearly has an issue with.
With regards to the court ruling I can see why they reached the decision they did.

Thisnis not only a stupid idea, its dangerous. Im not sure how much interaction people have with 16 year olds, but they are thick as ****, and more importantly influenced extremely easily...
The trend of 16 to 17 year olds has traditionally been progressive left, however, not only is this shifting, the 'cool' and 'anti establishment' votr for them is conservative. U18 Yr old males have never been more right wing, and they're the ones who will mobilise better. This idea has been touted by Labour for years, in the attempt of increasing their voter base, but I think this will back fire!
Are they any more thick than voters in every other generation?
If an election cycle starts when someone turns 16 they will be 20/21 by the time the next election happens and would have fully felt with the consequences of said party

Wtf? Your going to ignore the 16 year olds in the next election?!
Firstly, 2% of 16/17 year olds work, this is about 40k people who contribute to the economy, have just become the PMs justification for allowing 1.8m more children the vote.
There are more than 20k of these kids are in the care system, 200k of these kids have some sort of psychological, or mental health disability, and that's without considering the age groups lack of ability to understand risk, critically think, or understand coercion or manipulation.
In an age where Labour have won power, with a record low number.ber of votes, and essentially winning by default because of disillusionment, adding 1.8m voters who are influenced by tik tok dances is just asking for trouble.
Itv did a poll of 500. Only 18% said they would vote if the GE was tommo. Just under half didn't think they should have the vote.
33% polled said they were likely to vote Labour. 20% Remain.
Weirdly Corbyn was most popular MP. Despite Labours best efforts to kill off the left and any dissenting voices.

13 - 17 year olds are the first generation of people who's primary source of news is social media...
FTFY
Bruh having dipshits who are influenced by AI videos on Facebook has given us trouble
I mean if it was up to me you should have a economics quiz before voting tbh
How many people 60 and up didn’t even go to school after 15?
Isn't the whole reform movement built from social media?
Literally Maga and reform build themselves as anti establishment social media driven
And let's not act like a **** ton of old farts are not on social media these days
It’s laughable that people don’t think the “boomers” are as easily impressionable as the 16-17 year olds. And if you want to bring up mental health and voting thats a whole other kettle of fish

If you scroll up...
This is my point. U18s are super easy to manipulate, and they're trending right wing.

'Bruh'?
'Has given us trouble'?
'Should have a economics quiz'
Not to mention 0 punctuation, are you sure you want to stand on the 'old people arent educated' point with the state of that comment?
But my point is that every generation is easily manipulated
If your argument for one generation not having the vote is because of that where does it stop? Why block one demographic when others are just as susceptible.
U18 boys are trending right u18 girls are trending the opposite. (Only going to get worse because of that divide)

Yeah I'm fine with that, I don't care I've had a nice drink.
I'm fed up with people acting like the youth can't leave their phones alone despite 90% of Facebook being driven by people way older than 18 years old
Although it's not going to matter until the voting system has actually changed which Labour will never do.
(Also sadly I don’t think anyone should have their vote removed just this perceived that the young generation are more gullible annoys me)
He worked down the pit on 10 shillings a week!
Tbh I get annoyed at both sides. Comments like boomers are all racists, luckily there'll be dead soon etc. Doesn't add any thing really.

I get it my grammar is shite, but I dont stand on the point that education = right to vote as you just made.
I disagree though that children are having their vote 'removed' because they havnt had it, and you can be annoyed by the idea 16 year olds are more gullible, but that doesn't change the facts that they are.
16-year-olds are generally the most susceptible to manipulation and coercion than older adults, both psychologically and neurologically. This is supported by research across psychology, neuroscience, and legal studies.
They dont have the brain development, emotional regulation, or cognitive stability to understand how their vote matters.
Let's look at legality, they are treated as more vulnerable due to their limited capability and understanding.

I mean there are legitimate arguments for people of a certain age not being in touch with younger generations, however where I see the arguments differ is that one group has contributed for a lifetime, and despite losing touch deserve to have a say on who is in power in their vulnerable years, and the other needs to be safeguarded from themselves....
Let's be honest, if a tik tok trend to elect pozer, or chlorine Qisha popped up, they may well stand a chance of a local seat.
