Do you think there should be an upper age limit on voting?

There is a minimum age to vote - do you think there should be an upper limit too, as those at the other end of the spectrum are down to their last decade or so of life and shouldn't get a say in major decisions affecting all those generations behind them that will have to live with the consequences (i.e. Brexit and the divide between how the older / younger generations voted)

yeah. like leaving valuables to your descendants. while i have met mad old fuckers,, who just[i] want to burn it all down[/i], MOST of the elders i have met, want the next generations to have it better.

also it is the YOUNGER generations ( brexit) that are the least educated by fact and the most easy to sway by shallow rhetoric , as most have never been exposed to the process of logic, or critical thinking
