If I was asked to vote at 16 I would of probably ended up voting for whomever my parents were voting for.

If that was the case then you'd receive the same percentage anyway. Also, people pay tax at 16 so why shouldn't they be allowed to vote?

I agree with the voting age being made 16, I would have voted different at 16 to what I did when I was 18,however that is just as I took more notice of what the Political parties were saying.
I see no reason not to reduce the voting age to 16 now.

It may well be not that many decide to use the vote but I think they have the right to be given that choice.
