Britain’s Problem With Teen Voting
The UK government has announced that the voting age will be reduced to 16 at the next general election, fulfilling Labour’s 2024 manifesto pledge to expand youth participation in democracy. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has defended the move by noting that 16-year-olds can already work and pay taxes, and therefore should have a say in choosing their representatives.
Isaac Ho: What can Transport for London learn from Hong Kong's world-class metro system?
Isaac Ho is a former Mansion House aide and a master’s graduate from the London School of Economics. He writes in a personal capacity. In the past couple of years, Londoners have seen some new strides made in their transport system. The long-awaited Elizabeth Line was finally opened; a new Superloop Bus System was created; new carriages are on their way for the DLR and the Piccadilly Line. Nevertheless, we have also seen fares regularly rise alongside persistent delays and strikes.
Why Hong Kong Needed a Second National Security Law
Last month, the Hong Kong government passed the city’s second national security legislation, commonly known as Article 23. This comes after the original security law passed by the Chinese government in 2020, which quelled the ongoing unrest taking place at the time. But why does Hong Kong need this second security law?

With a building sale possible, UB Newman Center’s community waits for answers
‘It’s really difficult to keep a church community together with no church’: As diocese sells buildings to raise cash, UB center’s parishioners fear its unique community will be lost Dozens of people come to the UB Newman Center’s Wednesday night dinners: students and other locals who come for the free meal every week, the volunteers who cook and serve the food, and the staff who keep the whole place running. Now the center — located on Skinnersville Road, just off North Campus — is in limbo.
Nigerian States Should Welcome Private Sector Investment in Electric and Railway
After decades of the federal government’s regressive monopoly, Nigeria’s electricity and railway sectors are finally set for a transformation, thanks to a recent constitutional amendment that opened up the industries to state governments. Now, it’s state governments that should avoid monopolising these crucial sectors. Without private sector participation and progressive policies like tax relief, the benefits of this historic reform may remain elusive for many of the country’s states.
Is the UK an Increasingly Inward-Looking Nation?
The past couple of months has seen the UK winning a series of victories on the world stage. In late February, the UK and the EU reached a new agreement over Northern Ireland in the form of the Windsor Framework, officially ending the Brexit limbo. Several weeks later, it was announced that the first generation of ANKUS nuclear submarines would be built using a UK design with parts and upgrades supplied by the United States.
