Should the voting age be lowered to 16?
Now Labour have all but completely lost Scotland
Should we give them 16-18 so they can put up more of a fight next time? |
No - age should not be a political football for the left
|
Yes.
SNP is in favour of that. |

we should be looking to get the 35% of non voters to vote rather than bother children

No, only tax payers should be able to vote, regardless of age.

If we lower the voting age to 16 would we also lower the age of majority, at which a child is considered an adult and no longer legally under their parents' control? Because that would mean that 16 year olds could be tried as adults. My personal view is that they're not ready at 16 to be considered an adult in the eyes of the law, why would we allow them vote?

Yes - more teenagers are interested in politics than ever before, and if a 16 year old is allowed to pay tax, leave school, join the Army etc, why shouldn’t they be able to vote as well?

The voting age in Scotland was changed to 16 because young people were getting more involved with politics around the time of the independence referendum. Teenagers have become even more interested in UK politics since. |

Labour lost so badly because of Corbyn's unpopularity, nothing to do with age or Scotland.
Next time will be a lot closer I reckon, especially with Boris being in the job for 5 years at this point it'll be the much more interesting Election to watch imo. |
