If in the military and one can die for their country they should be able to vote. Otherwise voting and adulthood should be declared at age 20. I’m sick of 18 year-old adults being referred to as ‘teenagers’ when they commit a violent crime.

Europe is lost, and the UK just keeps digging their hole deeper & deeper with each passing day.

Did the majority of current voters in the free and democratic society of England support this change through some sort of referendum or constitutional amendment? How can they just willy nilly change something of this magnitude without the approval of the majority of the free people of Britain?

They have "elections" in the UK just like in Russia.

Soon after they will allow only one bar in England; but, it will be 200 miles long.

Because kids in UK named Mohammad are in their upper teens. So the United Kingdom is about to become the United Arab Emigrants

This is a wholly leftist endeavor. 16-year-old cannot enter into contracts that I am aware of, unless they are designated as an emancipated 16-year-old.

I don’t believe 16 year-old’s should be given “emancipated” status for the same reasons that they aren’t allowed to enter into contracts or join the military.

They are still children. This is just an attempt by the left to solidify their base with people who are unable in general to make life decisions.

The left (both here and in the UK)wants it that way.

You should at least be the age of majority to be in the military or to vote In most states that’s 18. In a few it’s a little higher. I think Mississippi has it right at 21.
