I'll be honest, I would not have thought of this as one of our most pressing issues. But good on the "makeit.16" team and summaries like this post for showing me the ways I was wrong. And NACT for helping me to understand why the arguments against it are so weak. Curious that Seymor, Goldsmith etc seem happy to insult the children and grandchildren of their voters. I suspect a lot of their voters do think that their children and grandchildren are capable of voting at that age, but they worry about OTHER young people voting.
Among the more egregious Seymour comments was that he's relaxed about young people voting for local government as less harm can be done with a bad councillor. Given many of our climate critical transport and planning decisions come from a local Government I can't see how that's the case. And wasn't this the party that wanted to support local decision making? He's just flattering himself, and as so often is presenting a logically inconsistent argument. I would say he's a waste of space, but I don't think holograms really take up space do they?

Some excellent points Quentin, it is always those "other" people that seem to be the problem, and the Arnold Rimmer comparison will never get old.
