MATT GOODWIN: Why Labour's Push for 16-Year-Old Votes is a Disaster
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 05. 2024
- In this provocative video, I dive into the controversial debate on whether 16-year-olds should have the right to vote. I argue that 16-year-olds lack the intellectual and emotional maturity to make such crucial decisions and that this push by Labour is nothing more than a blatant power grab to rewire our political system in their favour. We need to focus on real issues, not gimmicks that serve political agendas. Join me as I expose the motivations behind this proposal and why it could fundamentally alter the landscape of British politics.

The Tories are appalling.
Labour are utterly terrifying.
Well, remember this at the ballot-box ........ a vote for Reform is a vote for Labour, and a vote for Islam.
Just saying.
Corrupt, useless, incompetent & cowardly Tories....& they're the better option!
@user-jg2nq6ll4c Apparently, Labour will win anyway, so what's your point?
My point Einstein is that if the people who WERE gonna' vote for Reform give their votes to the Tories, then the Tories will win the G.E.
The Tories will still have their die-hard voter core on top of those extra ex-Reform votes. We really have no other choice I'm afraid if we want to keep Labour out. Believe me, if you think things are bad just now, just go ahead and vote for Labour THEN run for the hills - because the UK will be an Islamic Caliphate within 5 years, with Sharia Law imposed on everyone.
Only a coward deletes a person's reply, mate. Easy to see who YOU'LL be voting for ....... Islam.
If 16 yr olds are given the vote, then they're old enough to be named and shamed when committing crimes
and pay tax
Fantastic point. If they’re not considered adults in the eyes of the law then how can we let them vote
If they can serve in the military they should be allowed to vote .
I actually agree with this, though I think 16 year olds shouldn’t be allowed to vote nor names and shamed when committing crimes
@@pip1723 Surely you reform the other thing. Ensure people can't enlist at 16. They're unable to "serve" until 18 as it is.
This woman is bloody awful
She worked for The sun at one point I believe 😂 says it all
They wheel her out to trot out the loony tunes
My though was 'bloody stupid', but same sentiment
as the counter view she plays her role brilliantly. But there are thousands like her that's the scary part to know.
@@suzy7726 the Sun used to be conservative working class with big knockers. the mirror was the union rag
Everything that comes out out of Nina Michkov mouth is absolute rubbish. I normally switch off the minute she comes on and of course 16 year-old should not not be given the vote.
Agree
Yeah, it's funny, over many years of seeing her on various panels, I've yet to hear her say anything logical. Appears to be a classical Metro-Centric (or whatever the term is), incapable of thinking beyond Middle Class London
Get her off GB news ....Can't bare to.watch her....What a Doylam ! If ye 16 you can have a child....well I doubt there bloody planned at 16...jesus !
She's a legacy of bolshevik marxists. Completely brainwashed or else deliberately being subversive - I go for the latter.
Ex 16 year old here, 16 year olds don’t know jack shit
Most adults in the UK don’t know Jack shit. The average voter is depressingly stupid.
Thank you! I was the same at 16 lol!
When u were 16 u thought u knew everything
I can't believe ANYONE is actually Jack Sh*t!!! 😊
@@manpreetbrar838 yes but being older you know you knew nothing
Rewiring the system is straight out of the Blair playbook.
You mean like opening up the borders to let in more potential labour voters?
But the tories would never do anything like that... It's not like they passed unnecessary voter ID laws or something... oh wait
Also, letting more people vote is not rewiring the system, 'they won't vote for the people I like' is a really bad argument for preventing a whole demographic from voting.
Labour said that Jihadi murderess wasn’t responsible because she was 16. They cannot have it both ways.
did she actually murder anyone? or was she just brainwashed by a death cult into spending time with murderers? also Labour have said that they support the Court's decision not to grant citizenship to her so I'm not sure what you're on about
why not 14 year olds? Nay 12 year olds? Ridiculous
If a 4 year old buys something and has VAT part of the price clearly according to this woman they all should. A small number of 16 year olds have part-time jobs after all so all of them should therefore be able to vote.
Voting age should be raised to 50.
if it was up to labour they would let children vote
Maybe any playschool graduate?
Vote from birth lol
Minimum age 21, no foreign nationals, no criminals, no postal votes. The woman is off her trolly, what the hell has having a baby got to do with voting. The 16 year old girl needs 100% support and the "father" simply disappears over the horizon as fast as his legs will carry him. So much for their sense of responsiblity. Not the basis to enfranchise them.
They only get pregnant cos there playing grown ups....ooh were having sex can't wear a condom it doesn't feel the same....and now social media makes it even worse......Tragic !
Having a baby at 16 likely means you are more irresponsible too. Even adults don't understand what they are voting for half the time
In addition, no votes for new UK citizens for the first 10 years (of that citizenship).
I'd say stop Almost all immigration completely for at least a decade, deeper the radicals focus on assimilation
@@jeffholt9437 seriously? what if someone has lived in this country for 20 years and only then gets citizenship, maybe they couldn't previously afford the extortionate costs of it or something, you'd make them wait a further decade? Would you even pass the british citizenship test, if not aren't those who do arguably more deserving of the vote than you?
I absolutely agree Matt.
Female panelist utterly out of touch as usual
18yr old shouldn't have the vote!
Why, because they don’t vote the same way as you do?
If a sixteen year old can sign up for the military they should be allowed to vote excellent idea .
So they can drive, marry, buy a house, serve in the military and drink alcohol BUT cannot vote ! Think before you type !
Agree, in fact these days I suspect even 21 is a bit too young, given that half of them are now still in full-time "education" at that age.
@@nawaz345 because they don't know anything - duh
Wft do 16 year olds know? It should be 21
Of course it will be a disaster.
Why ? They can sign up for the military why deny them a vote?
So why are 16 year olds not allowed to buy alcohol or drive a car?
Exactly. By her reasoning let's just make it a free for all. Smdh
Good point!
A 16 year old can sign up for the military so they should be given the vote .
@@pip1723 They can sign up, it is not compulsory, so it is like any other job. They cannot go to war until they are 18.
@@pip1723The whole idea of going to war for a vote was based on conscription, not choice. If they have a choice then 99 percent of them won't go, but get to vote anyway.
Bang on as usual Matt
Labour wants the stupid vote
So all adults are highly intelligent?
@@j.x.x.r3645 did I say that
Intelligent articulate people like Matt Goodwin should be in Parliament, should be PM
💯 with others like Ben Habib, Suella…..
She is talking out of her arse
She wants 16 year olds to have the vote but wants Brexit voters to think again. No bias there.
Polling shows that the vast majority of the country wishes that we didn't leave the EU, a far larger majority than what we left on.
@@fluffyotter3122 Polling is not sampled on the vast majority of the country. Polling is a small sample with selected demographic. Polling can only ever be an indicator. What matters is the result of voting.
@@brentwestbrook That makes no sense, polling by definition is a sample, if you sampled the whole country then it would be census. But either way the goal of polling is to produce a repressentative sample of the whole population, so it highly likely that a real vote would have very similar results to these polls. So unless you think that all statistical sampling is pointless and the practice is con, you must conceed that majority of public opionion is now against brexit.
@@fluffyotter3122 It wouldn't make sense to you. No matter what polling, the vote was done. One opportunity. The polling at the time had it wrong. So it was not representative. We cannot keep changing the landscape every time there's a poll. So I concede nothing. You need to accept the majority vote. Whether you like it or not. That's democracy.
we had no Idea what brexit would mean, once the government finally had a deal that should have been put to the people to confirm we were happy with it, just as the concept of brexit was to begin with.
Should raise it to 21. Young people are in education until later now than they used to be. You don't work at 16 any more.
Agreed.
Full time employment should be the main factor here.
I would also put an age limit on voting, too. Once you hit 67 yrs old (state pension age), you are no longer able to vote since they, for the most part, no longer contribute to the workforce in any meaningful way.
@@brg9327 So you think that having seen the machinations of governments and having gained an understanding of how the world really works over the previous 49 years of being able to vote doesn't count for anything? In most cultures people recognize the life experience of the elders and revere it but you say just chuck it away. By your logic if a man or woman leaves the workforce to bring up their children then they should lose the vote for that period too. You must also think that disabled people shouldn't be able to vote if they can't work. What about if people receive 'in work benefits'? Even if they earn something they are being subsidized by the other tax payers so the net effect to UK PLC may be a deficit so maybe they should lose the vote too?
do you know any 16 year olds? many are in employment, whether that's a part time job that goes alongside a levels or an apprenticeship, which is 80% employed work. people in university, unless they're rich enough to pay for it out of pocket, often supplement their fees by working too, and I'm sure you're a tory who doesn't care about the super rich voting from a young age
@@j.x.x.r3645Sixteen year olds do not know anything about the world. The only people who want them to be able to vote are the far left who are too stupid to understand that haven't grown up when they are old enough to realise that the Beano is a kids' comic not a newspaper.
A 16 year old should be more concerned about getting laid than which party to vote for
Scotland is hardly a great example
Thats most probably why there naive an easily brainwashed at that age thats all I was thinking about partying and fashion, not taxes etc they can take advantage of the 16 yr olds .
Well, considering the juvenile stabbings rate is 90% higher in England than it is in Scotland, I wouldn't call England being a fcuking great example either, huh?
Also most adults don't understand what they are voting for. All you'd have to do is promise"free" everything and they will get all the votes and welcome to socialism.
@@Susan-kd3rv but all adults are totally brainwash- resistant? I don't think so.
should be 25 then you would see a change
Labour: 16 year olds should vote.
Also labour: 17 year old drivers should be given curfew because they are irresponsible
If they are old enough to join the force's they should be able to vote .
In some Australian states you can drive at 16, but you can't vote until 18.
@@pip1723Are they allowed? That's wrong.
Yep you can sign up at 16 .
@@pip1723 which is wrong as well. 16 years are told to sign up because they are young and naive. You aren’t fully developed mentally until you are 25
Labours way of reversing Brexit.
Absolutely
Polling shows that the vast majority of people now regret leaving the EU, so public opinion would be on their side. Plus people now can see the direct consequences and decide based of facts, rather than the smoke and mirrors that made us leave.
@@WompleWomp - I don't know anyone who regrets voting for Brexit. In fact, many Europeans now want out.... The unelected blog have now taken away Nations ability to Veto what they don't agree with. Governments who have been elected by the people.
@@WompleWompPolls can be made to get the answer you want , all I hear people talking about Brexit is when are we getting it ?
@@nicolaclark4234 Then you are in a political echo chamber
If anything - the voting age should be raised.
To 25 when you have more life experience and you brain is more likely to be fully developed.
Let me get this straight: a whole demographic of people don't share the same political opinions as you, so you want to strip away their rights? in the name of democracy? this is absurd
@@j.x.x.r3645 It's not that - it's that I do actually think that you need some life experience to make a judgement on the political situation. I am unconvinced that the vast extension of the voting franchise has been success.
It should be noted as well, that there was no public clamour for lowering the voting age to 18, when the Wilson government implemented that.
Voting sixteen year olds would be a disaster. They are children, only adults should vote!
children can sleep with each other, join the military and get a job, but marking a piece of paper is too much for them to handle? come on you must see how patronising that is
The age of majority is 18. Many would say it is now too low.
Fine. Let 16 year olds smoke tobacco and drink alchol too......
And receive adult prison sentences and lose their right to anonymity.
they already can, they just can't buy it.
I've raised 5 teenagers at a certain point in their teenage years all 5 were morons at some point .
it doesn't require an education to have a child, it does to vote even in your own favor.. what a dense argument
Most sixteen year olds are still in nappies.
People should not be allowed to vote until they are 25 when the pre frontal cortex has matured.
That's literally what I was thinking when I clicked on the video.
But It's ok for them to join the military and fight for our country ?
@@pip1723 Why not? They need some life experience first. There's no logic to conflating the two.
That's an excellent idea. I certainly wasn't capable of voting rationally till I was in my mid 20s.
💯🎯 My argument accords with yours. Also people need to have had some life experience and education in civics before being let loose in the voting booth.
Totally agree. At sixteen i would not have known how to vote in the bigger picture so emotionally I'd have voted SNP. By the time i was 18 I knew better.
From what I have seen of todays brainwashed teenagers I wouldn't let them even give me the time of day.
In Scotland 16 year olds can vote. Says it all. What a shambles.
Exactly and Scotland is one of the few places Parliament is actually worse then England.
the SNP are really bad but not as bad as the tories are bad. and 'I don't like who they vote for' is a really bad reason to stop a whole demographic from voting
If starmer cares so much about voting, why not make the voting system Proportional Representation?
That's how Labour win in London isn't it though
@@dave25311 with PR you get what you vote for. I reckon if we had PR both lab and the tories would be a distant memory.
Starmer cares about getting power , not about the 16 year olds per se but only because he believes that they, like the Muslims, will vote Labour.
@@dave25311 nah this time it was first past the post for the London mayoral elections and Sadiq still won
He hasn't ruled it out, just isn't prioritising it for the first term because there are more important things to do such as: growing the economy, reforming the NHS, policing and education systems to make them fit for the future, smashing the people-smuggling gangs, cracking down on anti social behaviour, bringing down energy prices, and other things which will actually affect our everyday lives
Women...And Lefties...
Voting should be raised to 21. Like the SNP this nothing but election rigging.
Or older. Peter Hitchens suggests 30 as a minimum starter, and he knows what he's talking about.
How is letting a higher proportion of your population practice democracy election rigging, if anything the fact that they have not been able to vote for the past 100 years has rigged every election in the right's favour.
should be raised? why? so more people vote tory? now that's election rigging -- removing the vote from people who vote a way you don't like.
I remember what a big twat I was at 16; to give you some idea after my A levels, I became an active Marxist. I shouldn't have been allowed near a polling booth until I was at least 21...it's a terrible idea!
Thank you for your honesty!
you want to punish a whole generation for your self confessed-stupidity? that seems fair
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. Plato
Cant get married at 16 Nina, so if you can make a stupid mistake like that at your age it proves children could also make serious mistakes because like you NINA they dont actually know as much as they think.
@ronwatson1918 In Scotland you can marry at 16 without parental consent. In England & Wales until 2023 you could marry at 16 with parental consent, but this is no longer the case.
In Scotland your childs school will still call you if they dont turn up for school that day at 16+. I thought this was quite odd and asked them if my son was married would they call his wife instead (he was just late for registration). I did not receive a sensible answer. At the same time, the SNP want softer sentencing for under 25 year olds as they are not full mentally developed to understand risk and right from wrong. The age of criminal responsibility in Scotland is 12, rest of UK it is 10.
It seems we all have some serious inconsistency in our thinking about appropriate age of responsibility and maturity.
Personally, it should just be consistent that you become an adult at 18, and that is the age threshold for paying tax, signing up, getting married, having sex, buying cigarettes and alcohol and voting.
that was a recent law change, most normal people do not scrutinise every single addition to the statute book personally and it was not reported on. A very reasonable mistake to make
16yo to vote? So be it, they will be classed as responsible adults so breaking the law should lead to imprisonment in adult prisons, drink alcohol in pubs and buy from off licenses, buy cigarettes, bet in bookmakers, entrance in to night clubs and strip clubs, drive cars and motorcycles. Madness.
You have to wonder why any political party would consider giving the vote to sixteen year olds as a good idea. Given the current Labour Party I suppose it shouldn’t be surprising.
It is simply that kids believe Labour's BS more readily than grown ups.
They have no life financial experiences. How daft!
Most sixteen year olds are not interested in politics. They also have little basic knowledge of Economics, most are still students. If they are working then perhaps yes. Youngsters are more.immature than previous generations
spot on Matt Goodwin. There's a difference between paying taxes and making political decisions. Those of us who all well past 16 realise how little we knew about the world and about being indepdent.
They're not grown up until they've left the learning circuit and gone into real life. Their behaviour clearly shows this. They are just huge babies.
And if at 16 they are old enough to vote they don’t need my child support anymore
My 16 yr old cant even find his socks in the morning. He's too young to drive and I have to ferry him around. Kids that age just think the world should be nice to everyone and would just vote for left leaning parties simply because those parties are equally idealistic and delusional.
Exactly.
“Two blokes down the pub……” get real woman.
We all know 16 year olds would overwhelmingly vote for Labour. I wonder if she or Starmer would be so keen on this change if youngsters were overwhelming more likely to vote for a right wing party. Probably not.
That's an assumption that would bite Labour in the backside. At some point after Brexit the remoaners decided that all the old people must have voted Leave. So their vote must be the "problem" . That's probably why they are so opposed to PR. Labour just doesn't care about democracy. They just keep thrashing around between groups of voters that they think are easier to manipulate. Don't vote for them.
💯
Like how the torries implemented voter ID, which is far harder for a young person to obtain than the older population, whom are far more likley to vote conservative. At least here they are letting people practice democracy instead of taking it away.
@@WompleWomp how is voter ID harder to obtain? And why are you making assumptions about the age of voters?
@@CC-hx5fz Its not an assumption it is statistics, data is published on the voting habits of different age brackets. Valid voter ID is absolutely easier to obtain as an older person, for example an older person's bus pass or rail card is accepted, whilst 16-25 rail cards are not. So as a young person if you don't have a passport or drivers liscense (which a large number don't), there is no other ID that is accepted, unless you go out of your way in advance and apply for specific voter ID on the governement website. You can look for yourself and see that it is so much harder for a young person to get one.
Should be raised to 25.
Why not 45?
No political party has ever fully delivered it's manifesto, I would be in favour of fining political parties for not delivering their manifesto pledges in the same way the goverment fines companies for not meeting their targets.
Raise the voting age to 21, after you've at least had a chance to make a contribution to society.
Compulsory voting is a good thing for democracy, but Australia does not have votes for 16 year olds.
Being old enough to have a child doesn't mean you are a responsible person.
Having a child at 16 is exactly the opposite of being responsible.
It used to be 21 in Australia. I think Labor made it 18.
@@malph9216 lol true I made the same comment.
@@malph9216 Angela Rayner 😂
Compulsory voting is a terrible idea. For one thing it gives a false impression of how engaged the public is and secondly, if people aren't knowledgeable enough or interested enough or intelligent enough to vote voluntarily, their vote is meaningless - they might just choose a candidate randomly.
Labour should remember. The cry of the working class was. No taxation without representation. So no vote for those who don’t pay tax.
if you've ever bought anything in a shop, that was taxed (unless the shopkeeper is committing tax fraud), most 16/17 yr olds have. many also have jobs, their income is taxed. so yes, they should be allowed to vote.
and by your logic, people who were not born in this country but come here and contribute to the economy, build a family etc should be given the vote too. which I agree with but imagine you don't

I started voting as soon as i was old enough, cant remember what age it was, I made some stupid choices. I am 74 now and i can quite honestly say that the voting age should rise to about 20, maybe 21 years of age, Starmer is a very dangerous and stupid man for a supposedly intelligent being. He is beginning to worry me, I truly think he does not like this country and is going to do his best to denigrate and beat it down.
What is it about his always-reaffirmed pride in his country, his belief in British people and his union-jack branded lecturns and speech backgrounds that makes you think he denigrates this country? He criticises what the tories have done to it because he really cares about it and wants things to be better
If anything I'd raise the voting age to 21.
Rase the voting age to 21
The age of maturity needs to be standardised across the board for everything. People’s brains don’t fully develop until they’re 21.
It's 25 actually!
I like an old lady on her very last leg and this ridiculous idea would not effect her in any way can talk a load of drivel. If it came about it would be a further nail in the coffin of this country
In the 1960s most people entered the world of work at 15/16 but couldn’t vote till 21….. This wasn’t fair. But now we’re going to reverse it… Kids will be able to vote at 16, with many still not working till 5 years later at 21.. madness!
She made the best case against female suffrage since 1930s Germany.
Isn’t any age legally allowed to have a child? If two kids have a kid do they go to jail?
Proportional representation used to be a good idea in this country but now that we are flooded with immigrants from completely different cultures living together in ghettos it is Just another nail in the coffin of democracy.
Starmer should promise them free music streaming, Corbyn was offering us all free broadband last general election.
How many 16 year old people earn enough to pay tax ?
The voting age should be 23. The brain is not developed into adulthood until at least that age.
Perhaps young people ought not to pay tax.
Teenagers are ignorant and mad, by definition.
Does that mean a prisoner in his HMP can vote because he doesn't pay taxes?
He doesn't pay taxes and can't vote, so I don't understand what point you're trying to make
My boys are 20 and 21 their not bothered about voting
Sounds like the youth of today.
they're not bothered about voting, therefore they shouldn't be allowed to if they are? make it make sense
Well you failed as a parent then.
@Purple_flower09 typical coming from a leftie 🤣😅
If the argument is that one can pay taxes at 16, therefore one should be able to vote, then does that mean that if one doesn't pay (direct) tax, then one should not be allowed to vote?
A 16 year old knows jack s..t nuff said
About 10 years ago (I think) there was a radio debate - on the BBC, I believe - on the topic of whether the age at which one should be able to vote ought to be lowered or raised. There had been some analysis of maturity by age between people of various ages in the year the show was broadcast compared with those in the mid-1960s (I think). If memory serves, it was found that a 16-year-old in the mid-1960s was about as mature as a 25-year-old in the year the debate took place. Given that and the infantilisation of today's youth, perhaps we should be RAISING the age at which one can vote, not lowering it. A bare-faced power-grab by Labour, for sure. A despicable form of gerrymandering by a contemptible "Liebour" party.
Imagine these woke youngsters voting, Labour would win every election and the Country would be on a downhill spiral quicker than it is now
They are unfit for purpose. You have to have life experiences to have knowledge.
Hells bells, I know I'm a bit old but I do know young people most of them aren't mature enough to know how to breathe without instructions.( some exceptions though.) I think it should be raised to at least 21. Remind me never too listen to anything Nina Sillycow has to say again!

yeah... but they lost.
I'm not defending Corbyn, he would have been a historically bad prime minister to rival Johnson, but you can't blame the past five years of chaos and decline on him as he thankfully didn't win that election.
Nina we understand about voting, its just the politicians that aren't worth voting for
Raise the voting age to 25, and put this age range in a lower tax bracket. Voters should have some life experience, including understanding how your tax contributions gets wasted by politicians. Most 16 year olds can just about manage to find their way out of their bedrooms some mornings.
Then they should be allowed to drink, its only a matter of time and the age of consent will be six
they can, they just can't buy alcohol. Same with tobacco
She talks about 16-year-olds being able to have a child. How many 16-year-olds do you know who have children? What a ridiculous argument. The minimum age should be 18 because the average 16-year-old is more concerned about how many likes they get on social media.
but everyone over the age of 18 has complete immunity to the effects of dopamine? no one in there forties or fifties is addicted to their phone? I think you'll find you're mistaken
Having a child at 16 proves the opposite : it clearly shows you are irresponsible and cannot be trusted with your own or other people's future...
Funny that this is suggested the same week they shouldn’t have a smart phone - doesn’t quite stack up does it!?
They can vote at 16 in Scotland. How has that worked out then?
The SNP, awful though they are, are less bad and less corrupt than the conservatives
