They say you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it. This is because once in power, socialists change the rules so as to stay in power. As leftists consolidate control, once great Britain serves as an example:

Under international and UK law, a child is any person below the age of 18, but by the time of the next UK General Election those age 16 and 17-years-old will be legally allowed to vote for their next Member of Parliament and won’t need photo-ID to do it, the Labour government has announced.

The point of allowing children to vote is that they have not had time to outgrow liberalism. After all, we are all born moonbats, crapping ourselves, expecting someone else to clean it up, then whining for more free food. Add to that the leftist indoctrination that passes for public education, and there is reason to believe few children would vote Tory.

Consequently, even though those under 18 are not allowed to buy alcohol or even lottery tickets, they will be able to vote to enslave adults via the increasingly all-powerful government.

The point of not requiring ID is to facilitate cheating. This will be done in part by the often illegal gimmegrants Starmer et al. have allowed to flood the country to displace the native population.

In the short term, lowering the voting age could blow up in Starmer’s pudgy face, due to encouraging support for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party among young voters. However,

Farage said he didn’t back the change “even though we’d get lots of votes”, adding: “I don’t think you should be able to vote in an election unless you’re also eligible to be a candidate, and I don’t think 16 year olds should stand for Parliament.”

Speaking of Farage, the new measures will also prevent Elon Musk from financially supporting him.

On the positive side, limitation of the franchise to Muslims probably will not be imposed for at least a generation.
