Should the voting age be reduced to 16 in the UK?
A debate on the pros and cons of the voting-age being lowered to sixteen, in the style of a 鈥榮oap-box鈥� campaign for votes.
A seventeen year old is passionate that she should get the vote and mounts a plea in the grounds of her local college. Speaking on her 鈥榮oapbox鈥� she argues that people aged sixteen can join the army and pay taxes 鈥� so therefore they should be allowed to vote. But some of her young audience disagree.
