UK rejects puberty blockers and Khan's crime claim

The country delivered its clearest verdict of the day by rejecting a child puberty blocker trial by three to one. The most respected voices in the chamber did not equivocate, describing the trial as part of a pattern of mutilation that needs to stop.

The verdicts

Should the UK make benefits harder to claim by increasing conditions for young people? drew the largest turnout and saw nearly two in three votes back tighter rules. Curiously, not a single word in the debate spoke up for tightening them — every opinion left on the page argued the opposite case.

Should we scrap the state pension triple lock? ended with three in five voters keeping the lock in place. The arithmetic case for change lost out once the argument turned to how little UK pensioners receive compared with the rest of Europe.

Is Sadiq Khan right that falling crime proves London is safe? saw the chamber tell the mayor two to one that his own statistics were not enough to win the argument.

Should all drugs be decriminalised? produced a two-to-one rejection even though the chamber's most respected argument called the war on drugs a proven failure.

Should Ed Miliband personally lead UK engagement at the World Bank on climate and development? became a two-to-one rout in which the winning side barely bothered to argue and the losing case was never made at all.

Do you support a council tax and stamp duty replacement with a 0.48% tax on homes? delivered a clean win for the property tax despite most of the floor arguing against it.

Should Capital Gains Tax rates be equalised with Income Tax rates? proved the closest call of the day, with the country splitting almost down the middle on a four-point margin.
