Our crack team of researchers have learnt that our Prime Minister, David Cameron, is about to make another shock U-turn, this time on voting age.
Whilst he is 'allowing' Scottish youths age 16+ to vote on the independance of Scotland, he has resisted calls for the lowering voting age for UK general elections.
However following an indepth survey by the influential think-tank mumsnet, which showed most mums who took part believe their child can think like an adult at the age of 12, with a third believing it to be nearer 10, the prime minister is reconsidering his position.
We currently understand that the Prime Minister is consulting with other think-tanks and lobby groups as to whether the voting age should be reduced to 3 months, with expectant mothers being able to vote by proxy until the child reaches 3 years old.
This news has angered the lobbyists from Fathers for Justice with their spokesperson, Mr M.Y.Rights, saying "This is deplorable, why should mums automatically be given the voting rights of children under 3, fathers play an equally important role in a childs development and lets face it, we are more likely to vote Labour.'
A member of the pseudo-facist right wing extremist group UKIP expressed concern at the latest Tory policy proposals 'This was one of our policies in Eastleigh and the Prime Minister has stolen it, again.' He/she added 'We need more votes and anything that can be done to increase our chances of wrecking the UK economy more that the ConDem coalition has to be seriously considered, unlike our party.'
One 5-year old youth who we found walking the streets of Sale when they should have been in school opined 'this would be great, there could be a new Bob the Builder party to represent the views of us little ones. Let's face facts, the economy is down the pan and Bob can fix it.'
What do your, our long suffering readers think?
Should the voting system in the UK be rigged so that our Proprietor, and your soon to be Supreme Overlord, Mr R.Chough can be elected to become the first imaginary PM in UK history -because as we all now know, Chough knows everything (see poll above).
I prefer 'virtual' to 'imaginary'.
ReplyDeleteWhat I find shocking is that there was 2 chip pan fires in Oldham yesterday yet your 'crap' team of researchers could not be bothered to 'research' whether there had been any and report them. What is happening to this Blog? Do you not take your Corporate Social Responsibility seriously, unlike the MEN?
ReplyDeleteI was scooped by the MEN. I checked the fire services twitter feed earlier that day. Nothing. Then after I read it in our inferior rival I was honour bond not to post the story.
DeleteYou could have chipped in with a comment
DeleteI was just about to reply to that when I 'got' the 'joke'.
DeleteAfter watching Carry on Screaming I never liked anything battered from a chippy.
DeleteFar be it from me to criticise but the poll states there have been 6 votes so far but if you add up the votes themselves there are 9. Is this yet another pollthat has been rigged?
ReplyDeleteThe vote is perfectly fair, but you can vote for more than one option if you like.
DeleteSo I assume two people voted 'Certainly' and 'Yes' and one person voted 'Certainly' and 'Probably'.
It's like a big online Venn diagram.
I would suggest that, given there are only 6 voters to date, that you may be stretching the word 'big' a bit.
DeleteA lot of men do that Scratchy, it's nothing to be ashamed of...
DeleteNow that would make an interesting poll...
DeleteBut who would.complete the poll, the contributor or their partner?
