New topic to discuss! The SNP want the voting age lowered to 16. This is something Im passionate about. Im 16 and most of my friends are 16. I feel as though we should also be allowed to vote for the people that are going to be making decisions about our future. We- as a generation- are now engaged in the happenings of our country. My 6 year old sister, 10 year old cousin, my 13 year old sister and 14 year old cousin, all know what they are talking about- and theyre much younger than 16. We can leave home, get a job, join the army, pay taxes, get married and so much more... So why cant we vote for the people that we want to be in power- who the taxes we pay will go to! 16 is an appropriate age! Were capable of making these decisions. I feel as though we need to do more campaigning on this front. Yes?
