Exactly! No taxation without representation.

So students who don't have to pay tax should not be able to vote then by your logic. Good luck telling uni students that.

My counter argument was that taxes do not mean you have the life experience or intelligence to make a decision with a meaningful outcome like voting.

16 year olds voting isn't a good idea. They are potentially more vulnerable to manipulation. The older you get the wiser you get to the way the world works. Not pleasant.
