00:00 Yes, I think it would be a good move, because at 16 these days,
00:05 they've got a good head on their shoulders,
00:08 and I think 16 would be a good idea, really.
00:12 Lower the voting age, yeah, definitely.
00:14 Well, if they know what they're talking about, yeah.
00:17 It depends on what it is, really.
00:19 If they're not, like, stupid or just have no idea what they're doing,
00:23 then there's no point.
00:25 You don't have to vote, do you? It's, like, optional.
00:28 It should be optional for, like, 16 and older.
00:30 But then it gives people at a young age a choice.
00:33 A chance to say. So they don't have to wait.
00:35 Yeah, it's optional. If they know what it's all about, then go for it.
00:38 I'm not too sure, to be honest.
00:40 I think people need to be old enough to sort of be mature enough to vote.
00:45 I don't know. You get a lot of mature 16-year-olds,
00:48 you get not so much mature 16-year-olds. Yeah.
00:52 I think, yeah, I think...
00:54 I think, personally, for me, 18 is probably the right age.
00:59 the right age.
