Let's face it no government gives a flying charlie about who votes/how old they are; they just want a potential bigger percentage of voting turnout. Yes it will be a fad and a few will vote but at the end of the day 16 year olds aren't that stupid; they know their vote is only valued as a number not as an opinion - so why spare the hassle to swap a deckchair on the titanic?
