People who were too young for a Brexit vote: how do you feel?

There is some truth in that, statistically there is a trend, but I can't see left-wing people my age turning into die hard tories who have a hard on for Theresa May. I don't think all conservatives are horrible, but some right wing views are atrocious. Their policies are just amoral and horrible towards certain groups of people. The Conservative party are horrible for disabled people, horrible for poor people, horrible for animals, and just horrible for society.

Have you not considered that that "criteria" is outdated and stupid? Saying that younger people "matter less" in society makes literally no sense whatsoever

Why are 22 year olds who still live at home able to vote but independent 16 year olds aren't?
Of course the voting system should be based on meritocracy.

erm..what? how old are you...?

14, lol

are you serious my lil sister is 14!! love her to bits, ur my lil sis now too then eh. then i deeply apologise for anything offensive or like swear words or anything that I've said <3

I looked into this before. Giving 16-17 year olds the vote in 2016 would not have made a difference. And there should not be an upper limit on voting age.

'grow some balls' - is hardly an insult, its just a rude way of saying 'toughen up a bit'

"so voted on what they thought was best for my generation" - that I have no problem at all with, if that's what they did then good for them. But that's very different from what you first said - which is they let you decide.

I think that parents and elderly people should vote in the best interests of future generations, but that doesn't mean letting future generations choose themselves. So in a real world example.. when moving house, parents should consider whats best for their children.. but they shouldn't let their children pick the house.

Elderly generations not considering the interests of the young, is an awful trend at the moment. Just look at the housing market to see how little of a **** older people are giving right now about young people. For me I just get frustrated when adults feel like the answer to this problem is to cede power to the kids, rather then the more rational approach of just being a bit more thoughtful and considerate towards other generations.

was 2 months of being 18 - dumb decision, and for sure will be a bitter pill to swallow, think we will however rejoin in the next 30 years with a less deluded generation....

you've got to admit it's unfair that the 85+ old people who voted mostly won't even be alive to feel the effects of brexit
(especially with all these extensions by the time we leave maybe even I'll be dead)

No life experience, voting should be 25 minimum.

If we remain in the EU you will eventually loose the pound altogether.

one said that Brexit would cause a replication of what happened to Germany after WW2 economically.

Lowering the voting age in general is a poor ideological argument that's generally only used by those who know they will profit from it (liberal parties who want more youth voters)

Again, ignorance and youth go hand in hand.

And this would be bad because...?

That's because financial and social self-interest hasn't kicked in yet.
The left is a vote for ruling over others, the right is a vote for ruling over yourself.

Loss of purchasing power, higher non-EU import costs and loss of control over monetary policy.

Fixed.
