The opposition to the Brexit vote was based on supremacist beliefs that leave voters were 'old' and 'stupid'. They were also labeled 'racist'. Everybody deserves rights regardless of age but youth rights should not be youth supremacy. We do not want a real life example of Login's Run.

No but I'm not advocating for any group to be in a privileged position, certainly not children. What I am advocating is that everyone has an equal right when it comes to voting. The question of what if everyone votes to remove someones rights is protected by the countries constitution. The idea of a constitution is to have a set of foundational rules that everything has to abide by, it's purpose is to stop this very situation. A foundational rule that everybody has the right to vote for example ensures no one can vote away anyone elses right to vote.

And the silence around them is deafening, at least where I am. If it had been a right-wing party, it would probably be used as yet another demonstration that the right in government only causes trouble (perhaps even putting them on the same level as Trump, or close to it).
