Default Votes for 16 year olds?

http://www.itv.com/news/update/2015-...-17-year-olds/



"In the latest of a string of defeats for the government, peers voted by 293 to 211 to approve the reform by a majority of 82 during a debate on the report stage of the European Union Referendum Bill.

If the Government allows the move to stand it would see some 1.5m 16 and 17 year olds eligible to take part in the referendum."



Not sure what to think of this- on the one hand, sixteen and seventeen year olds are eligible to pay taxes, so should have a say on how it is spent, but on the other hand, how many sixteen and seventeen year olds work and earn money?
