Voting among women and children: Should it happen?

Everyone seems to be able to vote now. What is going on? The world is falling to pieces. It has gone mad since women were allowed to vote. They should have allowed working-class men to vote, but not women. I say this as a woman. I do not think I should be able to vote. Young women are a particular concern.

What are your thoughts? Why do they want 16-year-old children to vote in UK?

The decision to extend the franchise in most countries had a democratic mandate. The decision to extend the franchise to 16-17 year olds in the UK was a pledge in the manifesto of the Labour Party who won the 2024 General Election by a landslide. What other democratic choices do you think are acceptable to ignore?

@SunshineGirl Very few voted for them, yet they were still able to win. Why don't they be democratic and put it to vote by having a referendum? They know they would lose. Only they want children to vote. Why? To stay in power.
