I think everyone has the right to vote starting at an earlier age so yes

Put bellow if u agree??⛑????

I think yes because young people have the modern world on their fingertips, and some elderly might not know what’s happening in the country as much as youth.

I think we should be able to vote.

FIRST TO COMMENT

#Fisrst comment
Why not? It’s an opportunity to change decisions. Go Wales ???????

I think so, yes. I think it's kind of stupid that the government (basically) deems 16 year olds to be responsible enough to have children but not to vote.

I don't think they should because they don't have enough experience and voting is very important so i voted no.

No!
They might not be sensible and joke around with it

I think that maybe young voters might vote silly or not use their correctly. I think no-they should wait until they're 18

It is alright to vote at a young age because you are the future generation. The things that happen now will affect what happens in the future so young people should have a say.

I think that people at the age of 16 and 17 should be able to vote in all elections because I think that they are old enough to understand politics.

Yes because it’s children’s futures

I say yes

Yes, we are the future, we are the next generation and wouldn’t it be ridiculous if we could not have a say in what will effect OUR lives not other generations?

How come sixteen year olds can join the armed forces but not have the right to vote? Many people think that young people are ruff and rude; that is WRONG! First news show that, if sixteen and seventeen year olds could vote, the world - in my opinion - would be a better place. When First News did its own Brexit referendum, the young people voted REMAIN. If young people could be able to vote, the UK would not be spending more money on getting out of the EU than the NHS

I voted no, although I only put that because some people that age aren't as responsible.

But, on second thoughts, I would quite like to have a vote right now.

I think they should get a vote so that everyone can get to vote.

If they are responsible enough, I guess so.

I don't think it's a very good idea to let children vote at 16 because although "everyone has the write to vote" many 16 and 17 year olds don't know what's best for them. We should be concentrating on more important issues. Sorry if you don't agree with me! : )

yes I wanna VOTE my OPINION COUNTS as well as everyone else

I think that 16 and 17 year olds should have the right to vote because lets think about it. They are starting to go into the real world and they should know stuff about politics without them agreeing with their parents

i think only adults should vote because there can be some really stupid teenagers out there and they can write really bad things about the voting stuff

Yes, because 16 year olds should have a right to vote as most things which adults vote for will affect us when we are adults.

Usually, 16 and 17 year olds have a mature mind and are able to think for themselves and make their own decisions.

No I think that 16 and 17 year olds should not be aloud to vote because turning 18 is something amazing and that you should only be allowed to access those privileges at 18??

I think no because voting is very important and some 16 year mess about or parents could get a chance to tell the government what they think about there 16 years olds getting to vote so I say no

Yes because when you're 16 or 17 year old (I think) you're old enough to vote and you'll know about politics.

I think no because you may not choose the right choice if you are younger because your brain hasn’t properly matured into an adult.

YEAH

Yes, they need to learn how to make some decisions by themselves.

16 or 17 is quite young and some people are still can be very immature and could do ridiculous things no offence if anybody reading this is considered that

Younger children might make rash decisions which will affect the country's politics.

YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE! I don’t need to list the many reasons because most are obvious. And we are the future of the world. I've said my piece.

I think yes because the children should know ad understand a lot about what is happening so if they understand then why should the not be able to vote like everyone else

I wasn’t entirely sure for this one cos 16-17 year olds don’t always understand the political stuff and might ruin what should be right for our country!

we all should be able to vote

I think 16-17s should be allowed to vote in the UK because we have the right to know about our country, therefore the right to help the government make the right choices for our country, and have the right to vote. Whenever there is a vote, the end result will impact our future and England, so we have a right to say our opinion.

YA??????

YES soggynado

yes as it is there future that it effects.

No. Younger people could think they are allowed to vote and it could lead to distress and confusion.

We need freedom

We need the freedom to decide who will be our leader

I think yes because it is going to be their world and the young people will have to live with the consequences

Even if they are just following their parent's views, it is a step towards bigger responsibility, so yes.

I mean, why not?

I think it is fair for us the future generation to vote???????????

@Soggynando I agree

No, because some would just be copying their friends.

I put yes because I think 16 is old enough to decide stuff about what happens in your life.

i don't think all 16 and 17 year olds should vote but some.

16 and 17 year old should be allowed to vote despite the fact that some people have a clear lack of interest in politics. That's their fault but for the people who care about the future of the UK wants to make a difference in society. Let me give you a logic; at the age of sixteen, you're allowed to marry, pay taxes and leave home. Therefore you're deemed old enough to vote.
One of the major problems with 16 and 17 year old is Apathy and we often get it quite a lot. Most of the day, we would be: playing a football, having a chat with your friends or even watching your favourite shows nevertheless shouldn't we engage more with the outside world and grab the opportunity to vote. If you think it through, if we have more sixteen-year-old, chances are there would be more voices of citizens in the UK.

it is our lives that are going to be effected by the voting so why cant we vote?

Of course they should! Everyone should have the right to vote for their leader, especially if it's for the next five years.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!! I think it's unfair as it is. CHILDREN HAVE OPINIONS PEOPLE!!!!! I have wanted to vote since I was really young. You should be able to vote from seven! I have an opinion however young I may be and it's a perfectly fine one as well.

At 16: We can join the army. We can pay taxes. But we can't vote?

No, the thing is, there are plenty of mature 16 and 17 year olds out there who should be perfectly eligible to vote, but there are also immature 16 and 17 year olds. You either let them all vote, or not vote at all. So it’s a difficult one, but I’m going for no.

I think that 16 and 17 year olds should be given the right to vote, because everyone should get a say in who rules their council.

I think they should have 16+ but under 60

Yes! By 16 and 17 you are already really grown up and you can make decisions for yourself.

I don't see why not

Of course there old enough why not?

No, they are too young. But I do not really care, anyway. I am not Welsh, I am English. The United Kingdom should disband.
