I think 16, sure most 16 YOs wouldn't have much knowledge of politics, but most 16 YOs would like a bit of say of their governments policys that concern them, ie, student loans, tax rates, alchohol laws etc.

Lots of decisions that apply to 16YOs is decided by people twice there age.

The majority of decisions that apply to 5 year olds are decided by people over four times their age! Does this mean they shoud get the vote?
Sixteen is young, and getting younger to a certain extent in todays society.
