What no-one seems to realise is young people are generally more naive and idealistic, while older voters have seen more, worn the T-shirt.

And also the voter turnout is a lot less with younger age groups

The current system is fine - the balance is there: the youth need the experience of the oldies, the oldies need the constant fresh ideas and input from the youth.

As far as the 16-17 years olds, the Scottish vote was the only time that that has ever been allowed in the UK, and it's too young IMO, most will still be in education, still living with parents, no life experience at all.
