it was one of mr. Salmons works it was a
wheeze of his 24 once only cut the
voting age from 18 to 64 the purposes of
this referendum he thought that young
people were foolish enough to fall for
the hand and roar now i'm following the
opinion polls in this referendum with
even greater interest than i normally
follow such things and one of the most
significant and for me inspiring things
is that the youngest voters are the
least likely to say yes to alex salmond
and his works and i have asked myself
many times both how come some and got
that so wrong and two yr young people in
larger numbers than any other part of
the demographic in this contest so
strongly against independence young
people know better than anyone knows the
boundaries borders barriers obstacles to
communication to relations are very last
year many of you though you're probably
not allowed to do so during the school
day we'll have been tweeting or reading
the tweets facebooking or reading the
facebook messages or otherwise
communicating through the internet
through the ether which of course knows
no boundaries or borders of any kind
with people from all over the world and
for young people the idea not only of
having to live with the borders that do
already exist in the world to actually
willfully create a new one in a small
island
of english-speaking people is just
bonkers
