Right, wrong, or just playing the game?

Do you think we should raise the age threshold for National Insurance to 21 too? My point is that you have to draw a line somewhere, and if it's to do with the perceived maturity to make important decisions which will affect society in general then that line should, I think, be a consistent one.

If they did then they’d be significantly impacting  their pensionable age. 
 

The line does have to be drawn somewhere, but let’s not pretend it’s not been drawn already. It’s the Left that wish to redraw it knowing that the immature minds of youth lean towards the left and as they mature they tend to gradually swing to centre and then right. 
 

But to disingenuously re-draw the line to include a sizeable portion of immature youths knowing that at that stage of their lives they’ll predominantly vote left is quite something. 
 

Imagine watching the Tories fail so miserably and see a whole nation hold them in contempt and still have Labour and their wet fish leaders worry that if they win the next GE off of the back of this contempt that they’ll have to resort to tactics like this to stay in power.

Soldiers or people who are planning on relying on a state pension in their later days?

Do you think that Labour is a left-wing party in it's current format? I reckon The Greens are the closest there is in the bigger picture at this time.

I think both the current Labour and Tory Parties are rudderless inept sinking ships guided by the idiot masses who will vote for whoever gives them the most free stuff at the expense of the genuinely hard working folk making the biggest sacrifices. 
 

To be honest I’ve not paid any attention to other marginal parties as the best they can hope for it to have the illusion of influence if they ever prop up a minority government.

I think you're like a beta version of Ghat GPT where you regurgitate soundbites while blissfully unaware of the external real world. Best of luck kiddo.

I make my own luck Mark and its going rather well thank you.

 

Not sure why you needed to add the insults though? Was it because I did not answer your question in a way you'd like? 

 

Did you want me to say; yes, I personally believe Labour is very very left wing! So you could go 'ah ha!' and bamboozle me with whatever finding you had lined up? 

 

Genuine question.
