That vote at 16 thing...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Seems a bit strange to deny people the vote on the basis of age when at that age they are legally entitled to do all kinds of things, including get married, drive a car, consent or refuse medical treatment, have babies - or father them, change their name, leave home, leave school, get a firearms licence, be charged, represent their country overseas, and all sorts of other stuff...

But casting one vote among many? We can't let them do that? Can't grant them that privilege?

But, we allow so many incompetent adults to do it without issue. Bit precious of us 'grown ups' don't you think?
