Everyone on 16
Do 16 year olds have the right to vote?
Should you be able to vote at 16 if you can get married, pay taxes or join the army at the same age? Are politicians losing future voters and encouraging apathy by not giving 16 & 17 year olds a vote?

I saw someone put on Facebook that "you can have sex with an MP two years before you can even vote for him/her". Where's the sense in that?

One the one hand, a lot of 16 year olds are complete muppets, but then a lot of over 18 year olds are complete muppets too, and they can vote, so I kind of think why not?
If 16 year olds are deemed by society to be responsible enough to work full time, live on their own, get married, etc, then putting a cross next to a name on a bit of paper shouldn't be too chalenging.

Have you seen that Bremen in Germany is allowing 16 year olds to vote in a state election for the first time?

great new everyone !

I don't think a lot of 16year-olds would vote even if they had the chance to. By the time people reach 18 they've completed their education and normally have more knowledge and understand the responsibility better.
