Starmer says Labour will give 16-year-olds right to voteSource: PA
Transcript
00:00 Do you want to see 16 year olds vote? Are Labour planning on lowering the voting age to 16?
00:05 Yes, I want to see 16 and 17 year olds voting. They can go out and work, they can serve in our
00:12 armed forces and of course if they are out and working they pay tax and therefore they should
00:18 have a say over how the money they're paying in is being used. So yes, I want to see that vote for
00:24 16 and 17 year olds. If you can work, you can pay tax, you can serve in your armed forces,
00:29 then you ought to be able to vote.
