Those with after school jobs pay tax, therefore why shouldn’t they get to vote? Tax paid, they deserve a say in how our country is run.

I think the right is scared that with our younger generation being informed on world news, attending rallies and seeing how our country is currently being run - they’d be likely to vote left.

Not all 16 year olds would vote, some simply don’t care, but why not make it so those that want to can?

I think the ‘young minds are impressionable’ argument doesn't stack up. We see far too many adults buying into mis- and dis- information at great harm to themselves and irhers at times for that to be a valid argument. The whole vaccine issue is a perfect and current issue.
