      I think we all know why some political parties are pushing for this, and it’s nothing to do with them believing 16 year olds are mature enough to vote.

      We don’t trust 16 year olds enough to watch some movies, or drive a car, but trust them enough to vote??

      So they can brainwash the kids and scaremonger them in to voting for them

      Well they’re old enough to earn and pay tax so this makes sense. Seems the rest of the UK is catching up with Scotland.

      I don’t think this is a good idea, I definitely wasn’t making sensible choices at that age. 

      But more to the point, if we’re saying 16 year olds should vote, shouldn’t we just say that 16 year olds are adults?

      If you’re old enough to pay tax you’re old enough to have a say in where that tax is spent

      Maybe it’ll start to balance out some of the terrible voting intentions of the older generations. I assume this is the reason behind why some parties will push for it more of course.

      Good.

      I wish I had a say in Brexit when I was 16, yet I didn’t and the consequences of Brexit have heavily limited my options in moving away from this country.

      I ain’t the only one either.

      The same government that is moving to ban them from buying zero alcohol drinks on pubs, and doesn’t want any under 16s going on YouTube, thinks they are mature enough to vote. Nothing to do with the belief they’ll vote in the “right” way of course.
