      Until they decide to troll vote.

      You know that impulse control doesn’t fully develop till ones twenties

          Mm hmmm. So where did I say any of that? and your argument is poor. 16 and 17 year olds were not legally able to vote so you have no data to back up your outburst

              No. They made no point. What they did was blame the poor showing in that vote on older people. That isn’t what I said at all.

              Said nothing about brexit, nor does the reply to me address anything I posted.

              So no. You and they have missed the point.

                    It hurts to see you keep missing the point so I’ll explain, Brexit was an impulsive decision taken before this lowering of the age of voting, proving that it’s not just young people who are impulsive, defeating the argument by example.

      Would Reform undo it I wonder? This does smell a bit of gerrymandering as young people split leftwards

          Lol, not at all. I’m worried Reform (who are looking possible to take the government next) would reverse this decision. A very regressive move imo. But not unlikely
