General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Some people live to 90-100, you should be allowed to vote when you're going to live for that much longer.

Cut voting eligibility when you reach the age of life expectancy for your country.

It is less arbitrary than voting at 18.

Fun fact, the current USA president is far older than the average life expectancy of people in the USA.

If only your idea actually had any legs

Yeah like everything in American politics, it is best to actively do the opposite
