Given all these 16 years old are apparently going to be thinking about their future its a shame more 18 years olds didnt think of their futures when the Brexit referendum was called  we might not be where we are now |
Not voting is not the same as voting. I would have thought when I refer to how 16 year olds are likely to vote I'm talking about the 16 year olds who are voting, not the ones who don't...
I personally didn't defend Trish, but I think there is a difference between acknowledging someone young ****ed up and suggesting young people should have the right to vote.
Older people **** up too. There are plenty of uneducated idiotic people in every age bracket. Voting isn't based on intelligence level or emotional maturity, really. I personally don't care how 16 years intend to vote, I just think they should be able to.
