I was hoping it would be mandatory for anyone who voted for UKIP or BNP as they were clearly not sane.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Would it necessarily be a bad thing in this country? Before you all start jumping dows my throat think for a minute about those lazy scrotes who have a couple of dozen kids and have never worked a day in their lives, but still get more in benefits than most of us earn.
Would it be such a bad idea?

Apparently they have human rights. We could do with something like in Starship Troopers whereby you start off as civilians and have to earn citizen status (if you want to), then allowing you to vote, have children etc.

Oh that will be Tory policy soon enough. It will mean no more need for hug a hoodie campaigns.

The easy way to reduce teen pregancies here would just be to not give any benifits to them (council houses, cash etc). That would soon put off a lot of them.

If they had their way they'd probably privatise the electoral system!

You only have to see the mess of privatised election systems by looking at the US.

Here, the parents are responsible for supporting their kids, up until they are about 25. They will get child support etc. but they have to live at home with their parents, if they can't afford a place of their own. Same for child care etc. Teenagers also don't get unemployment benefit, if they have never paid NI contributions... They might get work seekers allowance, but no unemployment benefit. If the parents can't afford to look after the children, they can apply for additional benefits, but they'd have to sell their house first, the benefits cover rent, but not mortgage payments. If the parents are also unemployed, they might get a bigger flat to share with their kids and grandchildren. A friend in Hamburg had a daughter who was pregnant. He had a 2 room flat and lived off of Hartz IV payments. The daughter and her friend had to move in with him. He slept on the sofa and the daughter got the bedroom...
