Labour has accidentally come up with a good idea. Younger voters. Let’s run with it. How low should we go? Labour says 16. But look at who can vote now. I could be ancient and infirm. I could be barking. I could tell everyone I’m married to Angela Merkel and play bass in Jethro Tull. I still get a vote. Meanwhile, some 16-year-old bioengineering prodigy who’s just been commended by the UN for her invention that converts dangerously rising oceans into desperately needed drinking water has to watch helplessly as some dick in a hat becomes her MP, again.
