UK's Labour Party reduces voting age to 16; stops photo voter ID | Eastern NC Now

After a vote rigging scandal in London's Tower Hamlets by a Muslim pro-Labour political machine that necessitated an election re-run, the UK's Conservative Party brought in photo voter ID to stop such election fraud.  Now the Labour Party is ending photo voter ID.  They clearly would rather have voter fraud, much like the American left.

Their legislation also extends the right to vote in national election s to 16 and 17 year olds. At that age in the UK, they cannot buy a beer, get many jobs, get a tatoo, buy a lottery ticket, leave school, or many other acts, but they will now be able to vote.  Polls show that not only are British voters in general strongly this measure, but even half of 16 and 17 year olds say they are not qualified and should not be given the vote.

Labour, reeling from multiple polls showing the populist nationalist right Reform Party likely to beat them by a landslide in the next election is trying to change the election process in their favor.  This scheme may, however, blow up in their face, as in continental Europe, it is the younger voters who most strongly favor parties of the populist nationalist right.  Germany, for example, does a nationwide mock election in high schools before the actual election, and last year, the right and particularly the populist nationalist right did much better among high school students than with older voters, although they made major gains there, too.
