Should 16-year-olds like Stella and Jayla be allowed to vote?

Sixteen-year-olds can learn to drive, get a job, pay taxes and be on the Organ Donor Register, but they are considered too young to vote. Should they also have a stake in deciding their future?

It doesn’t take long

Urgh. Tell that to ECQ at last month’s council elections. Absolute fucking farcical job they did running those elections.
