Extending the vote to 16-18 year olds

That’s an older one, can’t find the most recent one I saw but it wasn’t much different for the 16yr olds.

If a 16 year old can be in a position to fight and be killed by the actions of leaders in war zones then they should have every right to vote.

The demographic of the 20 to 30 age group is changing dramatically and will further in the next 10 to 15 years.

In what way is the demographic you refer to changing dramatically? Amd in what way do you expect it to shift further in the next 10-15 years?

And not forgetting either, that many of those opposing it are the types that shout at clouds and small boats. There are many ‘grown ups’ who wouldn’t be anywhere near a voting booth if you had to prove you know anything about politics or how these things work.

Fuck the old gits, give the kids a vote. The country’s fucked, that ain’t the kids fault but they get the blame for most things anyway.

The majority of 16-year-olds leave school and start to make their way in life; of course, they should get to vote.
