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.
