Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2nd September 2026.

2nd September, 2026.

That’s me being silly in a video, agin … 

But all silliness aside … ?

I had the Today programme on, earlier: and caught a headline.

There’s a bill going through Parliament called the Representation of the People Bill 2026.

The headline?

Told us that the bill has its third reading, today.

It caught my eye, as one of the clauses being voted on, is a proposal to lower the voting age: from eighteen, to sixteen.

Something that would allow my fifteen year-old nephew to vote: once he hits his sixteen birthday, in December.

I hope this goes through.

I think that sooner we get the idea of youngster voter, the better.
