Bill to lower voting age to 16 defeated in Westminster - former MPs @Edwina_Currie and @lembitopik debate
A bill to lower the voting age to 16 was defeated in Westminster on Friday. The Private Members Bill, brought by Labour's Jim McMahon, was debated in the House of Commons with the Tory's accused of sabotaging the bill during often heated exchanges across the floor. So should 16 and 17 years old be allowed the vote or do you think they're just to young to form intelligent political opinions? Former Lib Dem MP Lembit Opik and former Conservative MP, Edwina Currie joined Vinny to debate.
