Teenagers Vote On Independencd

[Mags22]

I wonder how the youngsters voted, is there any way to find out?

From their parents you mean ?

I doubt age data is available for the referendum.

I wonder how the youngsters voted,

I wonder how many of the youngsters who voted on independence will still be living at home when they are in their 30's?


In 2011, nearly 3.0 million adults aged between 20 and 34 were living with a parent or parents, an increase of almost half a million, or 20 per cent, since 1997.

I don't know if you can draw any conclusions from this page.

Not good confident ones I suspect though.

Now that it is all over & we can begin to look at things rationally I would like to ask a question that has been bugging me for a long time. We know that in Scotland there are no University charges & I think I am right in saying there are no Prescription charges. It is logical to me to assume that these savings come from some other part of the Scottish budget. Is it known to us in England that if we had the same privileges where the cash would come from & what other benefits would have to suffer ? I hope I have made the question clear & understandable.

My question is - since the voting rules were changed for the referendum so the 16-17s could vote, will it now go back to 18 for the next run of the mill elections - are the youngsters to be (in effect) disenfranchised?

My grandson (16) voted NO (much to my disgust). He won't have a vote at the next General Election.
