I wouldn't have banned the old folk from voting...
I'd recommend instead a logarithmic scale of voting where your vote is scaled according to something like the following:

vote-power = log(base y)(x - age), where x = 89.45, and y = 8.45.

That way, you get exactly 1 vote at age 81 (average life expectancy in the UK) , whereas you get double the vote at 18, and it tails off to zero at 90 so that the particularly miserable old duffers don't get any say at all.

I like it, penalise people for experience. Can't be doing with experts either
We also need a factor for likelihood of getting down the polling station, let's call it the "can be arsed to vote" factor. Obviously, this is high in old gits and much lower in youngsters who already know everything so there is no point in voting for people more stupid than themselves (excluding the PPE students of course, but they'll still be too busy shagging each other to bother).

Probably also need to factor in a possession count, so as you get more things to lose you need to be penalised too, as you'll obviously be biased. Whereas the free thinking young have no such impediments and can vote for lovely flowers and shit.

Personally I did plan to leave everything to my kids when I pop my clogs, but now that I realise that everyone under 25 hates me, I'll leave it all to the EU who might appreciate the extra bit of cash.

Experience means fuck all.
Or rather, if your entire experience has been living your entire life in a golden age of unprecedented peace, social improvements, technological advancement, etc, then your experience is totally fucking worthless.

Given how stupid almost everyone is, why on earth would a mass of old people be anything other than old and stupid on average?

The whole thing was a knee jerk reaction by a bunch of miserable racists who will mostly not have to live with the consequences of their fucking tantrum. Wouldn't matter if the decision is only for a handful of years. Matters quite a lot when it permanent.

The remain loss was caused by the young.
Most (64%) of the 18-24 year age group in this country didn't vote, yet now complain the old screwed up their future. Blaming the old is an easy get out for them, saves having to look in the mirror and admit they fucked it up for the rest of us.

Mind you, if calling 17 million people miserable racists having a tantrum helps you feel better, then go ahead. Much better than facing up to the truth.

I'd agree.
These will be the people waving placards in 12 months asking to have a voice. They did, or they could have had.

The same poeple who protested about the tories getting in with 37% of the vote.
They didn't say much when Labour got in with 36% last time. I guess democracy is OK as long as you get the result you wanted.
