In England rather than the UK, we already have lower ages across the countries and that applies to marriage too!
This was one of Labours' big promises, and given younger voters have historically been more left leaning it's no surprise which parties support and oppose the change. Will it pass? 🤔

The UK aims to lower voting age to 16. At 16, you can pay taxes, work, and join the military… but unable to marry, drink, smoke, or go into armed combat until 18yo.
This new Election Bill still needs to pass Parliament.
What do you think?

Anything above 20 degrees when you have to wear a suit and tie is outrageous.

I hate people pushing past the barriers as much as the next person, but I don't think political donations should be going towards hiring film crews to try and corner people doing it and calling out the station staff. That's just my take!
