@harriettmb@irelandpolitics@ukpolitics Once upon a time, you couldn't vote until you were 21. I strongly suspect that people said much the same things back when the voting age was lowered to 18.
I feel quite neutral on the question of whether the voting age should be 16 or 18 - but I think this councilor puts forward a powerful argument for 16, because whet we need in politics is much more 'youthful idealism'.
As to people being exploited, he's in no position to judge, as his allegiance to the DUP is proof enough of his own naivety.
