The data is flawed. Everyone knows actual underage teenagers are all 18 on the internet, and internet underage teenagers are actually cops.

Probably a few more people that have 2 Facebook accounts than have registered to vote twice. Just sayin

Quick, have the Queen change the Magna Carta!

Aww... I lose...

The Whole Farking Beefalo: Just allow the general elections to occur on Facebook.

David Cameron (Like?)
Gordon Brown (Like?)
Nick Clegg (Like?)

Shenanigans. Since there's no age requirement to sign up to FB, the group of 18 year olds has simply had more time to join FB than they've had to register to vote. Doesn't mean that most or maybe all won't eventually register to vote.

It's okay, when Sol's galactic orbit brings it into a dense interstellar cloud next year, Earth will be smothered and the air and water will be chemically toxic, then every living thing will die an agonizing death. Five thousand years from this catastrophe, Facebook's Automated Catastrophic Emergency office deep in the Earth's crust will activate and create biological clones out of every Facebook user and install whatever data that person had entered into his Facebook account database into the appropriate clone's bionic brain. As they do this, nanobots will be released to the surface to reconstruct the planet as close as possible to what it used to be before the catastrophe, based on GPS-tagged photos.

Finally, the clones - biologically humans - will be released into the reconstructed surface to live a new life with the second chance given to them by Facebook's database servers. Each will remember where they've been, who they're friends with, who their family are. They'll find that their houses will be intact, their vehicles operational and they'll still have their jobs and offices to go to...

... provided data was provided to Facebook before you died.

Well, that's voting with your feet isn't it. Facebook is largly responsive to it's customers, allows all peoples voices to be heard, works a regular work week and while they are beholden to moneyed interests those relationships are above board and straightforward.

Facebook is really useful. What does voting get you?

Both are useless wastes of time.

Ishkur: This just in: Young people don't follow politics that much.

But it's not something indicative of this generation of any other generation. It's just a function of demographics: People generally want to hang around with, and pay attention to, other people the same age as them. So young people are only interested in what other young people are doing (see: music, sports). Politics is full of old people. Young people can not relate to someone 40 years removed from them, with different values and life experiences, so they tune them out. The highest voter turnout is ALWAYS the elderly. Their generation is in charge, so their generation votes the most.

If you're not interested in politics right now, you will be when you get old and you watch people the same age as you move into positions in power. It happens to every generation. Your sphere of awareness is always predicated by your age and what other people your age are doing (ie: working, leading, going to school, etc.).

You would never make it in journalism. There is absolutely nothing interesting or panic-worthy in your well though out, reasonable summation of reality.

Facebook at least follows through on it's promises, you can't fault the young people for associating themselves with the greater base of integrity.

special20: I'm ok with that.
Who needs a bunch of hanging chavs anyway?

liek dis if u cry ery tiem

That's okay. Pretty sure you'll need a Facebook account to register to vote in a few years anyway

They want to be sure you're enough of a moron not to be a potential threat.

Wait, they're still allowed to vote in the UK? I figured the nanny state would have taken that away from them by now. Not that your vote really counts.

I don't understand why so many people push others to vote.

Look - some people are too stupid or too uninformed to vote. They are just as likely to vote for a retard as a good candidate. If they all stopped voting and let the intelligent, well informed, people do it - we'd probably all be better off.

I don't know a damn thing about politics - and whenever I try to care, I find out that both potential candidates seem like d-bags and are pretty much the same.

Britons don't vote, her Majesty decrees everything. Then you get sent to Old Bailey

So...make it possible to register to vote while registering for Facebook. Give 'em a little trophy for it, and they'll be signed up next week.

I'm ok with this. The freedom to vote includes the freedom to sit at home, eating out of a can of ravioli with a fork while sitting in a La-Z-Boy in your underwear.

DEMOCRAZY!

I've told you before, get your goddamn cameras OUT of my living room!

Nice explanation, now I know why I find politics to be the most boring subject on the planet, it is full of boring old people I can't relate too. It's not unlike an afternoon at the old folks home only the old folk are into power dressing. That explains a lot.
