Everyone pays indirect taxes including young children buying sweets etc. it's an illogical argument.

Yes the child is paying the tax....
No genius, the PARENT who gave them the money is paying the tax.

Not many 16 year old's I know who are earning more than £11,500 per year, most are still at school or apprentices so won't be paying tax

How many 16 year olds earn more than the personal income tax allowance? I suspect not many!

And if you are retired on state pension paying no tax, you should lose your vote?

Happy to lower voting age as long as Schools teach politics to a national standard.

I really don't understand the reluctance to allow 16 year olds to vote. During
#scotref they were really engaged. -
I have been a really engaged Conservative Party supporter since age 10. Should I have voted then?
-
Ultimately there has to be a limit SOMEwhere; I'd say the legal age of adulthood is ideal.
-
a reasonable argument, however my point still stands, 16 and 17 year old were engaged in
#scotref giving them the vote is not unreasonable -
And in 30 years time people may make the same argument about 14 year olds.
-
They may, not a reason to stop 16-17 year old voting.
-
Fair. I like adulthood as the limit. 18 works.
