Sammy Wilson still says NO to Digital ID. ❌🪪
Digital ID risks opening the door to compulsory ID, increased government control and new opportunities for scammers to exploit personal data. It will also cost taxpayers billions.
Convenience should never come at the cost of our privacy and freedoms. I will continue to stand firmly against it. 🚫🔐 Sammy Wilson
🚨 The Government now wants to give the vote to 16-year-olds.
This proposal is being pushed forward without proper thought about the consequences.
At 16, young people are still legally defined as children.
They cannot be sent to war, yet the Government believes they should be able to help decide who runs the country.
⚖️ That simply does not add up.
This looks less like a serious democratic reform and more like a cynical attempt to manipulate the electoral system for political advantage.
🗳️ Changing the voting age is a major constitutional issue. It should not be rushed through because it suits the Government of the day.
It requires proper scrutiny, serious debate, and careful examination of the long-term consequences.
📢 Democracy should never be reshaped for short-term political gain.
The voting age should remain at 18.
