Seriously, if you oppose the franchise for a group of people because of how they vote, then you are a #fascist. Full stop.

#universalsuffrage #universalfranchise #democracy

Voting age to be lowered to 16 in UK by next general election 16- and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in all elections as part of changes including easier voter registration and a crackdown on foreign interference

Good: lowering voting age
Bad: keeping #voterID; no intention to introduce a #universalfranchise; no intention to shift to a residency #franchise.

With the failure to democratise the upper house, #theUK remains a long way from being a proper electoral #democracy
