Right, wrong, or just playing the game?

So since children are subject to law, ie from birth up to eighteen you believe that that that should have a right from birth to vote on laws they are subject to, or there to protect them? 

No. I was playing devil's advocate. I don't think anyone should have the vote. But you were going down the right line.

Ok, I see.

 

And is your second comment again playing Devils Advocate?

I decided a while ago there wasn't much point in talking to you about anything like this.

Well no wonder when you make weird random comments and when questioned on them you give vague replies.

fully agree re under 21. The youth are constantly targeted by the left, and it’s always the left pushing votes for 16 year olds simply to bolster their votes. Mind you, either party are happy to re-draw constituency boundaries if their think they will gain. 
 

The two party system is broken IMHO. Both parties are utter shite, neither stand for what they say they do. Two sides of the same coin. 
 

We are taxed through the roof and get ever less to show for it. 40 percent tax and can’t even see a doctor, the roads round here are 3rd world.  The only reason for voting Tory vs labour is that labour are guaranteed to waste the extra tax they take- at least under the Tories there’s a chance you’ll be taxed slightly less and can purchase the services you need yourself. 
 

The two party system is a roadblock to any real change. I want a party that is conservative in values, not name. I want a party that understands that a country should be about quality of life for its citizens, not unsustainable Ponzi-type “growth”. The only one I can find that I agree with almost all of their policies are the Social Democrats. Yet without PR parties like that may as well not exist. 

Should the age of consent. and that for joining the armed forces be raised to 21 too?

This is what happens when you think you are smart all the time, Alex is a law graduate, who probably knows better than you on this one. You don’t know when to wind it in. Catch ya later.

Being smart does not mean you can’t act weird. Even you know that Eggs.

Nothing weird about what he said, you just tried to make it look that. Why would an educated law man try to educate an argumentative man?
