If people are old enough to have sex and go to war for their country, they are old enough to vote. I really don't see what the issue is with votes at 16. It will happen eventually.

You have to be 18 to go to war, and to leave school, buy cigarettes, alcohol, knives and even use sunbeds. Sex and driving are the two anomalies, everything else is 18.
She has a point. The government should throw their critics a curve ball: say that the reports are spot on, we're going to be eternally worse off, but that doesn't matter because it's better to be impoverished and free than better off and enslaved. That would move the debate on to an ethical rather than economic front, and those who oppose Brexit could be painted as shallow traitors who only care about easy comforts.

They are not considered old enough to go to war for their country, but leaving that aside, presumably by exactly the same token you must think they are old enough to sign contracts, obtain credit and be pursued for debt, have a bank account without their parents' consent, decide whether or not they need to go to school, buy cigarettes and alcohol, become HGV drivers, get married without parental consent, and not to require the protection of legislation on child sex offences.
You do think all this, don't you? I wouldn't want to accuse you of being absurdly inconsistent.
What exactly did Brexiters want again from this? That we should stop eating imported cod?
The vast bulk of our Cod doesn't come from the EU......I'm sure Gove will come up with something 'interesting'.........
Yes, that is exactly what the article says. It's complicated! I don't see how us seceding from the CFP will help us in particular.
Any fishermen out there? To spell it out?
Have a look at greeneruk.org/ The National Trust pointed it out to me.
Leaving CAP gives us a chance to build an agriculture policy built on conservation/the environment rather than subsidy payments on land use/production.
I'm very excited about it.
Does it include plans to fill Rutland Water with haddock?
What about the fisheries?
Why do we need political union to reach a sensible working relationship in a common resource?
