In that case we should clear the House of Lords of anyone over that age too. I think the oldest one is 94!

It is not a bad idea, but maybe 75 is too young unless they also propose to introduce euthanasia for anyone over 80. . At the same time, perhaps younger voters should take some sort of test to see if they understand the difference between News and Fake News.

Well they can try to take mine from me and they'll have a fight on their hands ...is this the same people who dictated that no Scottish MP can EVER be in a cabinet position again? Selective democracy it appears and thats no democracy at all .Especially now when the ONLY sensible voices are those of Scottish MP's

Saw in the news today that some young singer is saying that people over 75 shouldn't be allowed to vote because they won't live long enough to see the consequences of their vote.

Oh the folly of youth!
