What a strange thing to say. It's precisely because 16 year olds are prone to making bad choices through ignorance and misguidance that they should not be given the vote. Plus it's illogical since there are so many barriers they face until they are 18.

I’d go so far as to say, if you have a degree but no job …banned.
All above except age is far too easy to manipulate. Own your own business? Just put your offspring on the payroll.

In fairness, I understand the TickTock generation favour Reform so you have a point there. ;)

The nepo-baby is a spectrum though. Some do work their way up and make the business more successful, but…

Last name “Beckham”……BANNED.

Last name Smith (after Will) …….BANNED

Etc.
