No. I don't think they have the maturity to make that sort of very important decision.

Street View: Do you think 16-year-olds should be able to vote?
No. I don't think they have the maturity to make that sort of very important decision.

I do actually. There's a lot of political things that involve younger people and I think they should have a say in what happens to them.

No. I really think that's too young to vote.
CAROLINE NEL, 45
Springfield
I think 16 is too young.

Yes, why not? I think today's 16-year-olds have a bit more sense than when I was at school. Their word counts as much as anyone's and they are the next generation.
