  • Parliament has welcomed an influx of Generation Z MPs following Labour's landslide election victory, with seven of the eight youngsters being from Keir Starmer's party.
    Labour MP for North West Cambridgeshire Sam Carling has become the youngest sitting MP, known as the baby of the house, at just 22 years old.
    Labour MPs Joshua Dean and Euan Stainbank are also just 24 years old.

      I believe the age requirement is 18, but I don't think it was set in stone until quite recently. For the longest time, it was just a general rule of thumb, and certainly by the start of the 19th century.
      The UK would be hypocrites, and be disregarding a lot of history, they raised the age for how old an MP or Prime Minister should be.
      Take William Pitt, the Younger. He was 24 when he took on the role of Prime Minister and was a phenomenal one at that. So good in fact at being Prime Minister, it basically killed him. James Dickinson in 1880, was also elected to MP at the mere age of 21. And less we forget the reigning monarch at the time, Queen Victoria, ascended to the throne at age 18. Any younger, she would've required a regency.
      I'd say it has more so to do with intelligence, mental acuity, and sound of mind. Since sometimes, having a person in their 80s, whose been in government for decades can be an invaluable asset for perspective. While someone whose 20, can counteract that perspective, with a fresh and current perspective.

    Apart from the fact that there are a bunch of youngsters, I’m honestly more impressed and excited by the fact that they are first given a choice to “swear or affirm”.
    Yet another thing the USA could take note of- British politicians are not required to have any religious beliefs nor swear on a holy book if they don’t want to. They don’t need to fake a faith to attract votes.
    And, if they do want t swear to their god they get to choose WHICH book and which god , without it being a big deal.

      And arguing that a monarchy is as silly as a religion is a pretty good debate question . Discuss. I would say they are both silly, but one far more damaging in that people across the globe seem set on duping themselves into the threat of burning for eternity if they are nice to gay people, and the monarchy just…. costs a lot or ordinary people money for some people to be symbolic figureheads. The lesser evil I would argue.

Unbelievable! After 14 yrs of it destroying this country, all the people who have fallen into the worst poverty because of it, that Labour do not take an anti-austerity approach to their plans for govt is insulting to all the people who are poorer because of it.
    It’s great to see young faces in parliament, but if their politics are not going to represent the country and its issues and fix them materially, they’re not worth shit.

      It's got nothing to do with age. This is a democracy and an open system. MPs get voted into parliament by the people of their constituency. So what are you arguing against? That the people should not have the right to vote for their representatives?

      @@liamcraddock9539 if you actually read the Reform manifesto, you'd realise that it's full of nutjobs who would destroy the economy, ruin our international reputation and increase police brutality. And that's not too mention the military not having to obey human rights, wreck the environment, make suburban roads more dangerous, deprive the Midlands, defund the BBC and make existence harder for people who aren't straight white males. And you are right, I haven't worked a hard job, because I'm 16. However I know plenty of people who do, all of whom believe that reform is, in fact, the worst possible party to actually run the country.
