They are young adults at 16. Give them their say.

[joeysteele]

It's their future to come so I totally support this.

I've heard many times more sense from 15 and 16 year olds than from many, more decades older.

Definitely I agree with this correct plan in my view.

Absolutely right.

[Liam-]

You become an adult in the eyes of the law at 16, you can pay taxes at 16, you can decide to join the army at 16, if they’re old enough and responsible enough to make those decisions, then why shouldn’t they vote?

[bots]

Peoples perspective changes as they get older, does that mean that someone aged 16 shouldn't vote? I don't think 18 is a magical age in terms of human development. It's purely arbitrary

[Redway]

Good. It’s time to reverse the trend of treating young adults like actual children: 16/17-year-olds used to be taken a lot more seriously and have more rights.

You might not fully be an adult at 16 but I agree. Teenagers were never as infantilised as they have been in the last five years.

[Livia]

Let them vote at 16. Of course of they commit a crime, they must be sentenced as adults. And we'll be able to send them into war zones... Unless people think 16 is too young?

If polling suggested those around 16 would more vote Con.
The Cons would probably be screaming for it.

I was fascinated with and involved too as to politics at 16.

I was at 16 planning my then hopeful future.
I would have loved to be able to go and vote for who as a government I wanted to then affect my planned future.

[bots]

the thing is, once 16 year olds become eligible to vote, it moves from being conjecture to reality in terms of their voting preferences and that rarely works out the way people think it will

Teenagers weren't a thing till the 1950s. Experience is everything.

Well it doesn't necessarily work that way

Political history had Labour reduce the voting age to 18 for the 1970 general election.
However Labour lost that election.

If Starmer really wanted to do something to stay as PM and lead governnent in power he should adopt PR for future elections.

Because as sure as anyone can be, of the 2 main Parties only Labour at present has anything in common with ALL the other Parties elected to Westminster except for the Cons.

Adopt PR Starmer as voted by over 3 to 1 at the last Labour conference and he'd have the hard-line Cons messing themselves.
That's how he could more make sure he stays in power.

You don't pay taxes at 16 - it's still compulsory to be in full time education, and the minimum wage of 16 years old is too low to be able to earn taxes. You can join the army at 16 but only with parental consent, and you won't see any kind of front line.
If you're gonna make a point, at least use correct examples

[arista]

Sure Joey
there are PR options.
Until now Starmer, standing clear
of change in that way.

Scottish Conservative would rather have
Labour in Lead Power.
Then the well "Dodgy Money" SNP group.

So all kind of possible changes are fighting ahead

[GoldHeart]

Tbh I always found it weird how you could do other stuff at 16 but not vote ,so this should be interesting.

True

Fair Point

[Liam-]

16 and older have to pay tax if they earn more than a certain amount, 16 year - 17 year olds are off to college at that age, which isn’t compulsory.

16 year old are also considered legally adult enough to make their own medical decisions for themselves, so they are more than capable of deciding what they want to vote for
