Should pensioners have the right to vote?

[mune ni kamome]

We should allow them to vote so long as it's cast using their mobile to access the internet

 

[Bob!]

No, of course not!

They'll only go and vote Tory!

 

[Steve.S]

What was the question again?

 

[cornish seagull]

Only if polling stations have toilets!!!

 

[Seagull Stew]

Is this serious?

Is there, in any way, anything to do with this topic that could possibly be serious?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I would let them vote 100%

but would prevent them using public transport, driving on roads and being in shops during peak times (JOKE)

of course they should be able too

They should also be banned from Post offices when they are busy.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Most pensioners know a lot about history of politics....and you learn by history so the same mistakes are not made today....however...if the government where to offer me a dollybird and free vodka for the rest of my life....they can stuff the vote.....C'mon UKIP!

If you ever watch Pointless you will note that the older ones have more knowledge of what is happening in the world than the youngsters. Experience beats all.

Although this thread is 'Pointless' and as I am a 65 year old, I find it difficult not to respond to this thread.

Some seem to think that pensioners (ie those over 65 years or 60 years for women) don't have a brain or indeed any right to any 'pension' despite, as in my case having paid National Insurance contributions for 50 years.

Do some of those currently in employment think that the retired should receive no State Retirement Pension ( SRP ) and accordingly they, in turn, would receive no SRP.

I am sure the thread, like many others started today, was done so 'pointlessly'

D, looking at today's new threads, don't you think that humour (perceived) is clogging up the, useful and worthwhile, NSC forum ?
