The article doesn't feature even a single opinion opposed to lowering the voting age. Interesting. I guess the British public unanimously supports this change?


The article does include at least one opinion opposed to lowering the voting age:

> However, Conservative shadow minister Paul Holmes said the government's position was "hopelessly confused".

> "Why does this government think a 16-year-old can vote but not be allowed to buy a lottery ticket, an alcoholic drink, marry, or go to war, or even stand in the elections they're voting in?" he asked in the Commons.


Looks like the article was just updated - that part was missing from the version I got, which archive luckily caught: https://web.archive.org/web/20250717102421/https://www.bbc.c...
