[BREITBART] Labour government announces wrecking amendment to Britannia's Voter ID law by removing photo identification requirement, and slashes voting age from 18 to 16.
Under international and UK law, a child is any person below the age of 18, but by the time of the next UK General Election those age 16 and 17-years-old will be legally allowed to vote for their next Member of Parliament and won't need photo-ID to do it, the Labour government has announced.
Angela Rayner, Sir Keir Starmer's deputy prime minister, heralded the change by saying ''For too long public trust in our democracy has been damaged and faith in our institutions has been allowed to decline'', apparently implying the trust issue in British politics has been caused by restricting elections to adults only, rather than decades of scandals and zero-mandate forced demographic change.
Announcing the answer to this breakdown in faith, Rayner continued: ''We are taking action to break down barriers to participation that will ensure more people have the opportunity to engage in UK democracy''.
