Nice use of a Sunday morning. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=49741#post-143587 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 08:38:51 +0000 DustyBinLaden 143587@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Teenagers in Scotland will have several new choices added to their ballot papers if plans go ahead to give 16- and-17-year-olds a vote in the forthcoming Scottish independence referendum.</p> <p>While voters who are 18 and over will get a simple ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ choice, 16- and-17-year-olds will be able to choose ‘Yes, if I get a claymore and can now buy beer in the pub’, ‘The opposite of whatever my lame parents voted’ and ‘What. Ever.’</p> <p>As a further enticement, 16- and-17-year olds will also be able to vote for their favourite X-Factor contestant at the ballot box.</p> <p>Morag Dalglish, 16, from Perth, said: ‘I would be, like, totally in favour of voting for the principle of self-determination and the right to free ourselves from the arcane and oppressive Acts of Union? But only if District 3 get through to the next round. They’re lush.’ </p>
