Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the applicant's challenge was not reasonably arguable: the 21 year candidature age pursues a legitimate aim, is rationally connected to ensuring maturity of officeholders, falls within a range of reasonable legislative options and attracts a broad margin of appreciation; there was no necessity to require evidence equating candidature and voting ages and remedial interpretation to 18 was inappropriate.
