16- and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in all elections as part of changes including easier voter registration and crackdown on foreign interference
But do you think you cared more about the future than someone who is 70?
Is voting selfish reasons at 16 naturally better than someone doing the same at 80?
I agree, I probably didn’t know enough at the time to make the most informed choice but I was definitely more idealistic, and I think that would have been a good thing.
Also, will there her more policy aimed at improving the lives of 16+ knowing they can vote.
You’re speaking for yourself, me and more or less everyone I hung out with which back then was a decent sized social group. I was barely competent to vote at 18.

I think the positives out way any downside.
Honestly no, I was a twat at sixteen. But I acknowledge that I’m speaking for myself.

100% idiot at 16. No shame admitting it.
I appreciate your honesty. I would have to say I was still a twat when I started to vote, and was for a long time after.
I agree, this guy was a twat!
I’m j/king. People change all the time, it’s okay to acknowledge that.
