The Spin


Labour is cynically rigging the electoral system by enfranchising teenagers who lack life experience and maturity to make informed political decisions. The party is exploiting young voters' left-leaning tendencies to shore up future electoral support while creating confusion about the age of majority. This constitutional change proceeds without proper consultation despite nearly half of affected teenagers opposing the measure.
