        @BBCBreaking of course. Because young kids are by and large labour supporters.

        @BBCBreaking Ridiculous idea to lower voting age to school-age 16. Never paid household bills; never had a full-time job #CrazyLabourParty

        @sophieannaward @rmg1011 At 16 most kids don't think any further than their genitals. Give them a vote and they'll think its for X Factor.

        @BBCBreaking So, you give a 16yo who has no real responsibilities, work or life experience the vote? #GeniusNot

        @BBCBreaking such a bad idea ... Rather than promoting children to have their childhood, decisions and responsibility is thrust upon them!

        @BBCBreaking way too young. 18 is too young too. Get a grip Labour. You will lose more votes than you gain if you adopt this policy.
