RE: Should 16-Year-Olds Have the Right to Vote?

You can get married and pay taxes at 16, so why not be able to vote too? I expect young people are not getting their information from the 'mainstream' sources these days. I would hope they are not being corrupted by extremists, but then I expect a lot of them are well capable of thinking for themselves. The government has to be good at reaching all of us so we know what they are achieving.

The legal age to get married in England is 18 not 16. There's a lot of things under 18s can't do - smoking, drinking, getting a tattoo, enter into a contract....
Yes, many of them are well capable of thinking for themselves, but I believe a lot lot more are not capable.
I wasn't totally sure of the age limits, but I did a quick search. There are plenty of adults I wouldn't trust to vote.
Yeah! Tell me about it that 🥺
Certainly better education to go along with the voting too (and not just for 16 ur olds!!!
