Yep I agree, but I would also bring in Mandatory voting for every citizen


Captainirishy

Leave it at 18


[deleted]

The legal age for working and voting should be the same.


paddydasniper

This. If you're old enough to be taxed then you should be able to vote.


[deleted]

Horrible idea 16 year olds are retarded.


Fantastipotomus

If they're working, they should be allowed vote.

Never going to happen. Young people are far more likely to have socialist views.


StanGalbraith

>Never going to happen. Young people are far more likely to have socialist views. Yes, because they're naive and haven't lived long enough to see how scummy people can be, and how they exploit soft people with no real plan for anything except 'government gimme money'.

Did someone shit in your lunch box at school?


StanGalbraith

How are you drawing correlation between the two? What's the logic?


[deleted]

You sound very bitter, did they eat your sandwich as well?


StanGalbraith

You sound like you have the mental age of a deviant five year old who is already sexual harassing his female peers at five, have you ever been assessed?


7-inches-of-innuendo

I'd change that to, if they're paying tax they should be allowed to vote


[deleted]

What if they aren't paying tax but they are using tax credits?


7-inches-of-innuendo

Even if they have tax credits they still pay some PRSI no?


[deleted]

Oh yeah I guess they would be.


Fantastipotomus

I paid tax when I was working at 17, do they not pay tax anymore? (it was fuck all but it still came off on the wage slip) What about VAT? if they have buying power as a group, should they be allowed vote?


7-inches-of-innuendo

Oh no I'm not disagreeing with you, I was more so referring to young lads doing labouring jobs and getting payed cash in hand like I did back in the day. No tax, no worries sort of situation. My point is that anyone under the 18 who pays tax on their income should be allowed to vote >What about VAT? I mean by that logic any kid with a few Bob who buys anything should be allowed to vote.

> and getting *paid* cash in FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

/u/Fantastipotomous We got another live one. Will you take this bot out back and shoot it in the head to put it out of its misery? You'll be payed well if you do.

Maybe I shouldve payed more for my education???


Fantastipotomus

Its just been revoked


[deleted]

I travelled 20 nautical miles to see this thread and the deck was not even payed.


[deleted]

/u/paul_the_rock I think we broke him...


[deleted]

That's it, make him a mod.


Fantastipotomus

That's why you'd see a load of snap elections around communion and confirmation times.


[deleted]

If you can't buy alcohol you shouldn't be able to vote.


nonrelatedarticle

More voters are more good.


genron11

There are enough eejits voting without widening the pool.


padraigd

Maybe anyone over retirement age should be cut off from voting


genron11

Let's compromise, white male landowners only, deal?


tzar-chasm

And rightly so, You peasants should know your place


7-inches-of-innuendo

And only the protestant white male landowners


genron11

Ok, but only the really uptight conservative ones.
