it should be lowered for local elections....help start up grassroot politics but national elections it should be kept at 18.
"we pay taxes if in a job at 16" argument is valid but stay in education and not work full time and you wouldn't have to pay taxes.
personally from my general experience of 16-17 year olds i wouldnt let them within a mile of a voting slip. a lot of them dont even though how government really works.

I'm afraid he's right maybe they should devise a test to see how much you know about government and that will determine if you are of legal status and intellectuality to vote + a lot of older people still don't know how the system works it wouldn't hurt them to watch the news once in a while but their too busy with soaps

but 18 yr olds have MORE of an idea with politics than 16yr olds. I'm willing to bet that when the tution fee's were being annoused, most 16yr olds were either outside, watching something else, or they didn't care about it.

as i said before, 18yr olds have a better idea than 16yr olds cos we have to discuss it at college.
