    I wonder if you’ll still firmly believe that when you retire.

      I don’t trust anyone with one foot in the grave to make long term decisions that benefit young people more than themselves any more than I trust a small child to make sound logical laws about bedtime.

        Well we all vote in our own best interests, as I’m sure you do too. The art of good governance is to provide an environment in which everyone can thrive.

        The problem here is not old people who don’t vote in your best interest, it’s the government that aren’t ensuring everyone is catered for.
