Just yes or no. I don't want to start political arguments.


Are Scottish kids, 16 & 17, going to be able to vote?

Scotland voting age lowered to include 16- and 17-year-olds



Next question

Have these women captured the "young (male) adult" vote???




Is the 16 to 17 year old girl vote tied between these two guys?

. .



I'm sorry if this is too political, but I'm just laughing myself sick!

Giving the vote to the 16-17 year old bracket has always been a lefty wish. The demographics have always show that at that age this age group is more likely to vote for the left. Add to this a nationalistic angle and then it is even more so.

But what's with the Conservatives?
"The official Tory policy is to keep the voting age at 18 in UK elections, despite growing numbers of senior Conservative backbenchers, including former minister Damian Green, pressing for a lower voting age across all elections."

I think giving 16 & 17 year teenagers the right to vote is absolutely ludicrous!

Well, I don't know about UK politics, but I'm voting for the cheerleaders.

Young enough to be foolish, or an old fool. Take your pick.
