In this week's News Shopper Thursday Issue discussion we question whether having a job should be a requirement for having a say on who governs the economy. Share your views by adding your comments below.

The Thursday Issue is very simple. Each week we put a controversial question or suggestion to you, and ask if you agree or disagree with it.

Here is this week's:

The economy is in a mess. So if you don’t currently contribute tax and national insurance (students, pensioners, housewives, unemployed etc) should you still get to vote in the general election?

Now it's over to you. Debate the ins and outs of whether paying into the economy should be a factor in people being allowed to vote. Should there be any restrictions on who gets to vote? Join the debate and tell us what you think below.

Check News Shopper's website every lunchtime for a new daily opinion column. Friday will be a sport rant. Monday is the Shopper Rant on a topical news story. Tuesday is entertainment day and Wednesday's rant is written by a reader. Be sure to have your say if you agree or disagree with what you read.
