To be honest, I felt that lowering the voting age to 18, never mind anything less, was a big mistake. OK, I hear all the screams - you can marry at 16, drive at 17. fight for your country at 18 (TBH only that third makes the slightest impact upon me, having been a serviceman). BUT, think about it - who do you want to have a say in how the country is governed? Those with damn all experience of life, or those who have at least known a bit about it? TBH - if only you have a very little bit of life experience behind you, asking the inexperienced is - ' Christmas - yes or no!' Guess what the turkeys go for
