Why are old people allowed to vote on the EU referendum?

Surely it's going to effect younger people thousands of times more than it will very old people? I don't think it should have the same weighting, they're just thinking emotively whereas we have to consider how it would actually affect our futures.

Democracy. Nuff said.

Idiocracy more like.

Here's one for you, so do you believe you're superior to old people and have more right to vote than someone who probably served in WW2 and helped create the society in which you now live in? b**** please. Everyone has a right to vote. That's what seperates us from North Korea.

Just look at Kim jong il.. I mean just look at him...Who would want to be oppressed by someone that looks like that?

I think people that know what they're talking about should have more of a say than people whose entire education comes from reading the Daily Mail and watching Coronation Street. But how absurd. We should leave incredibly complex decisions to the obscenely uninformed masses, because stupid people always make the best decisions, don't they???

Yes everyone has the right to vote.

Plus older people are considered more wise so should really be making better decisions.

Yes because the elite definitely get things right...I mean look at the invasion of Iraq, what an amazing decision it was for our highly educated, heads of state to go in against public opinion. I mean Iraq is a gleaming model of western democracy...
You arguments don't make much sense...lol.

The invasion of Iraq by our democratically elected government.

I don't really understand how you can seriously argue that uninformed people make good decisions. Do you want to hold a public referendum to decide how much fuel NASA put in their rockets? Everyone is entitled to their opinion after all!!!

10/10 because how much fuel NASA uses affects everyone....>.>. The decision will affect old people's pensions (their life line) so people will vote wisely.If you want to see what happens when uninformed people vote..have a look at the TRUMP fest going on in the USA. The very fact that the British people wont even look at Farage shows that we know what we're doing. Calm down man. It'll be fine.

Keep calm and drink Tea

This is stupid.

"Why does everyone have the right to vote?"

"Because everyone has the right to vote!!!!"

No. That's not a reason.



Except that a far greater proportion of the younger generation is better educated.............
