So the unelected undemocratic house of lords have done it again by voting to allow 16&17 year olds to vote in the EU referendum, how the hell can this unelected rabble be allowed to overrule the democratically elected government again. It’s about time something was done about this shower. I was under the impression that they were just a revising chamber, not makers of law.

I can never understand why people stress about some prisoners being able to vote. If we want them to be rehabilitated, then why not give them the right to vote towards the end of their sentence. The ECHR have only said some prisoners should be able to vote and this is being used by some to justify the UK withdrawing from ECHR. Does not make any sense to me. We have enough problems getting people to vote !
