That is true, but why are they allowed to leave school, join the army, get married etc at 16 but not allowed to vote? All of those are far more responsible adult decisions to make than voting in an election.
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.
