We ask Brummies their views on the Labour policy proposal
Transcript
00:00 Yeah, I don't think the voting age should be 16, that's quite low. I think most countries'
00:05 drinking age is 18, so you're suggesting that the voting age, the country's going to change,
00:13 policy's going to change, should be lower than someone being able to drink just for
00:16 themselves. It's kind of absurd.
00:18 Yeah, it's all about education, because the problem is at the moment a lot of voters just
00:22 vote on what their parents vote for, and they're just voting based on party. Realistically,
00:27 I believe that when you're voting, you should be voting for who your MP is, not actually
00:32 what party they belong to.
00:34 No, I don't think it should be 16. I think you don't really, I know there's not much
00:40 difference between 16 and 18, but I feel like 16, you're still in school, so you don't really
00:45 have proper life experience. I think if it did change, it probably would make a bit of
00:49 a difference. I think Labour would probably come on top, as it's more for the young people.
00:53 But no, personally, I don't think it should be changed, really.
