The “not developed until 25” is a myth. The famous study looking at frontal lobe development had age brackets up to 25 years old, non-scientific people took that to mean “that must be where the brain stops developing”.
Only a rallying call. And given it excludes many on benefits/unemployed etc. These are people with the most experienced of how society works when things fail. In this modern age. It is far from an inclusive call.
That said. Age has always been more about experience and education. Today’s 16 yo is way more educated in world events. Then any 1800s adult. And more so then even in the 80s when I was 16.
The internet leads to some negatives. But things are Def different now.
Interesting choice as the brain is not fully developed til 25… They also lack life experiences, not to state the obvious or anything

Later research shows it continuously develops.
Very interesting. However, I gotta say because I got severely downvoted, I really don’t think a 16 year old should vote.
Yet 18 year olds pay taxes.
Hell, even children pay sales tax.
I know we aren’t talking about the US but no taxation without representation is a bar in a lot of societies
Has never been a “bar”.
