You would have laws to stop people voting?
Very undemocratic Tom the Liar.
Is that why you love the EU so much? I thought it was because of convenience to your bolt hole in Spain. Now it seems you have a more sinister reason to control the will of the people in a country you don't even live in.
Very interesting
Let's examine what you just posted.
First, you asked a question to which my answer is no. I live with the system, imperfect as it is. There may well be reason, however, to question why there exists universal suffrage in the UK so long as one is 18 years of age (since 1970) yet in Scotland, a special case was made for the Independence referendum for those aged 16/17.
Up until 1970, one had to be 21 to vote so clearly parliament may adjust the terms appertaining to the right to vote as it suits them.
Where it becomes difficult, as an example, is with serving prisoners in the UK. Over a decade ago, the ECHR found for a UK prisoner when he challenged the government's right to deny him the vote. The British government has consistently failed to change the legislation and remains in contempt, as it were, of the European Court's judgement.
The reason I mention that aspect is obviously because our prisons hold a cross-section of society so there are many highly qualified and/or well educated individuals among them, all denied the right to vote whereas outside of prison, we allow everyone to vote so long as they are of sufficient age - lack of operational mental faculty does not seem to be a pre-requisite and as a consequence you are permitted to vote, which drew my comment.
The rest of your post is
and pure nonsense.
Tom
