Personally, I'd rather see the voting age raised so that people get a bit of life experience first - 65 seems like a sensible age...Personally I've always been an advocate for dropping the voting age to 16. Plenty of mature and responsible 16 year olds about as equally as there are numpties over the age of 18 about; some of whom I wouldn't let near a voting booth to be honest.
The priorities of a 16-year-old living at home with Mum & Dad are a lot different to those of a working couple with two kids and a mortgage. That said, with the way things are going, there's probably a lot of 16-year-olds living at home with Mum & Dad who have two kids...
