That vote at 16 thing...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

16 year olds are buying drugs and alcohol. Vaping, getting into trouble, have police records, get injured, get themselves killed - so what?

So do a hell of a lot of adults.

So with that reasoning, you would be happy for 16 year olds to buy cigarettes and alcohol?
The fact is most that age have no clue on politics let alone people at 18 years of age.
The only reason they want to lower the voting age is to get more voters to vote to the left, pure and simple.

Going by your responses I assume you are averse to allowing those whose future will be most affected by government policy (and particularly environmental issues) due to the simple truth that they have a longer future ahead of them.

The younger the voter the less likely they will vote based on the historical investments and philosophical baggage they possess.

Exactly. They are also more likely to be better educated than most adult voters...
