The government on Wednesday night put through a bill to lower the voting age at
local elections to 16.
Not a word in any of the MSM sources I have seen.
So they sneak it in under urgency hoping that we won't notice.
This done by the party that would most benefit from it.
Something this important must be debated and the voters must be given a chance >to say their piece.
Unconscionable, undemocratic and more desperation.
For Rich80105 who will love this bit of trickery, I am not commenting on >whether the voting age should change.
That is not the subject of this thread.
It is about a sneaky government and a paid MSM (towing the line).

Can be seen here (and nowhere else it seems):

There is no point in putting bills into Parliament now - because under
normal circumstances it is impossible to get to Royal Assent before
the house rises for the last time this term.
It is either going to be passed using Labour's majority and urgency,
or it will be left to the new Government to progress. The only
motivation for using urgency is to get the bill passed before Labour's >current majority is ended - but even then if the new Government is >National-led then this new Act could be repealed.
Muddled thinking methinks.
