‘Give six year-olds the vote’: Cambridge professor risks ridicule with radical plan
A top Cambridge University professor has called for kids as young as six to be given the vote, in an attempt to tackle the ‘democratic crisis’ in the UK where young people are being “massively outnumbered” by the old.

Professor David Runciman says that the ageing population has caused a generational bias, creating a democratic shortfall for the younger generation, who have to endure the consequences of decisions taken by UK governments that don’t plan for the future.

Discussing the issue on his podcast, Talking Politics, Prof Runciman, who is head of politics at Cambridge, argued that lowering the voting age to 16 was not radical enough to address the problem. He claims six would be a more appropriate age – adding “what’s the worst that could happen?”

I'll ask my five-year-old, tonight, who she plans to vote for in 2020 and what her position is on globalism, tax policy, and the opioid epidemic. Although I haven't asked her, presumably, as a recent beneficiary of my wife's choice not to abort her, she is pro-life, so that might be a problem for people wanting to extend the franchise to first graders.

No problem, buddy. The idiocy of these leftists never ceases to amaze me. Giving the vote to people who can barely write their own names, dress themselves, or wipe their own asses, and whose brains are not yet physically capable of critical thinking? I'd think this was a satire piece if I didn't know how crazy these people have become.

The sad thing is there are plenty of people who will take this seriously.

The princess dresses, Barbie dolls, and unending tea parties make me pretty confident she identifies as a "she." But then, as any responsible parent would, we never let her know she had options. By the time she ever hears the prefix "trans," she will have, for many years, already been established as a "cisgender," heterosexual, beautiful little ginger girl.

Re: ‘Give six year-olds the vote’: Cambridge professor risks ridicule with radical plan
I actually agree.

If 90 year old senile people that don't even know who they are can vote, so should 10 year olds that do.

Most adults have no real knowledge of policy and issues either, so what difference does it make?

How about this: Put a small civics quiz at the end of the ballot. If you can't get at least a 'D' grade, your vote doesn't count. 12 year olds that pass get to vote. 40 year old retards don't

And what would a six year old know about the world at large? This guy is a over educated "super dumb ass" and should be barred from teaching any one at all.

A six year old should be allowed to be a child and not bothered with worldly affairs. No experience at all.

Re: ‘Give six year-olds the vote’: Cambridge professor risks ridicule with radical plan
when i was six i used to spend my time staring into space or out of the window or at the sun. I had absolutely zero comprehension of politics let alone grasp what a manifesto was or weigh up the pros and cons of our countries next possible leader in order to place a vote.. Heck i probably had trouble writing my name or paying attention for more than 5 seconds in class.. i mean what the fuck!!

May as well give your pet dogs the vote too.
