..I think yes, not because 16/17yr olds can do this and can do that at their age because that to me is never a reason..but because this was a decision that is going to greatly effect the future's of 16/17yr old...we recently devoted a week with our 6th years, so ages 10/11yrs olds to the EU Referendum and discussing and debating it and it was inspiring as to how much each child reasoned their views and how aware they were of political views...that's not even something that every eligible voter can do...16/17yr old should have been and should be eligible to vote because they should be educated to be eligible to vote..(in general..)..young people are more technology/IT aware because they're educated to be so...they know Math problems that I would find difficult because they are educated to be able to solve these Math problems...and the same with politics, they should be educated to vote and to reason their voting and then to put it into practise and observe the outcomes of their decisions...
