    Hard to see how they could make a much worse job of it. As a slight aside, this[^] proves nothing but it mildly interesting nonetheless...

      Not quite - the site states "Last updated: 2 years ago". The raw data confirms this (UK's David Cameron was 49; USA's Barrak Obama was 54)

          Ever notice how much the lady running Scotland looks like a earlier model of Angela Merkel? (Oh! Be still my heart)

            BBC[^] ...and they want the voting age lowered? Personally, I'd raise it to 5 years after leaving full time education. (Mind you, "scientists say" is always a bad sign in a headline....) Somewhat more controversially, I'd also cap the voting age at retirement. BY then, you've had your chance to screw the world up, and it's time to lie in the bed you've made and leave it to the next generation.

              Trump is the living rebuttal of that theory, because mentally he is still in diapers.

                It most certainly does... as it does for "Matt_Munchies says..." as well :)

                  If older folks cannot vote in the USA, Congress would loot the Social Security Fund these people have paid into all their lives, and leave them with squat in their old age. :mad:

                    hmm... ok, good point. I guess there'd need to be some kind of protection built in... well, heck, the Constitution's well out of date and needs a re-write anyway! (Mainly to annoy the NRA, you understand. :) )

                              Good question - except it is to you - where exactly did you get Trump from? I do not see it in the post nor the article?
