Imagine a world where 16-year-olds can vote.

Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner certainly seem to think it’s a good idea.

They talk passionately about giving younger people the right to vote, but what’s really behind this push?

Expanding the vote to 16-year-olds feels like a sneaky way to stack the ballot boxes in Labour’s favor.

The idea seems less about empowering youth and more about securing a Labour stronghold for the foreseeable future.

Traditionally, adulthood—and the rights that come with it, like voting—starts at 18.

If we’re suddenly okay with 16-year-olds voting, should they also be allowed to run for office, serve on juries, or join the military? Of course not.

So why make an exception for voting?

If this policy were truly about fairness, it would extend to all areas of adult responsibility, not just voting.

By only changing the voting age, it appears Labour is selectively bending the rules to gain electoral advantage.

Sir Keir Starmer, often called the ‘knight who is afraid to fight,’ seems to be avoiding a fair electoral battle, opting instead for these underhanded tactics.

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just about voting rights.

Starmer’s plan, critics argue, is a way to lock in Labour’s power and push through more left-wing policies without significant opposition.

Given Starmer’s pro-EU stance, there’s a fear that a Labour government would increase migration substantially as part of rejoining the EU.

Plus, Labour’s history suggests they might hike taxes to fund their initiatives, potentially affecting pensions, property, and inheritance.

The Cost of Change

Labour’s embrace of progressive ideologies, especially on issues like gender education, adds another layer of concern.

There’s worry that Labour’s policies might lead to more radical changes in schools and society at large, influenced by what some see as extreme left-wing ideas.

The Final Warning

Allowing 16-year-olds to vote might seem like a small change, but it could pave the way for larger shifts in British politics and society.

With Labour potentially gaining unchecked power, the consequences could be far-reaching.

It’s a call to consider the long-term impact before making such a pivotal change.
