This 16 y/o on Question Time went viral because she nailed Brexit better than any politician
Another week, another audience member on BBC1’s Question Time going viral after making so much more sense than any politician right now.
This week it was the turn of this 16-year-old who looked back at the root causes of Brexit and what should happened next, and nailed it rather beautifully in 73 seconds flat.
‘David Cameron made the referendum policy because he didn’t want to risk losing 10 or 15 seats to UKIP and look where it has got us’
This 16-year-old says the Conservative Party are responsible for Brexit. #bbcqt pic.twitter.com/JaylXz1XF2— BBC Question Time (@bbcquestiontime) March 21, 2019
And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.
When they ask her one day what she’d say to her 16 year old self, she’ll say, “nothing really, nailed it”. https://t.co/66trzg6rRr

I mean not only is she spot on, but many a celebrated writer/commentator could learn a lesson in brevity and clarity from her. She didn’t waste a single word or second https://t.co/pCaxqmfwls

A rare positive thought about Brexit: a whole generation of better, new politics is being shaped and defined as young people endure this absolute shitshow https://t.co/RJEmuTEg7n

More political savvy in this 16 year old's little finger than seen in Theresa May's entire career #BBCQT https://t.co/8L9hRc7uKP

To conclude …
Why we should extend the franchise and lower the voting age.
This 16 year old eloquent, assured and impressive.
Talked more sense than @theresa_may has in her entire political career. #BBCQT https://t.co/19JpLxKP24
