UK Conservatives pitch national service at 18

If elected on July 4, Britain’s Conservative Party will implement mandatory national service for 18-year-olds, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced.

The service would involve either volunteering one weekend a month for a year or joining the armed forces for a year, with 30,000 spots available.

This proposal came after Labour leader Keir Starmer expressed support for 16 and 17-year-olds voting rights.

The Conservatives trail Labour significantly in opinion polls, which remain unchanged since Sunak’s unexpected election announcement, Reuters reported.
