The majority of people in Britain think that Labour’s potential policy of giving 16-year-olds the vote is a bad idea. But the experience of Scotland, Brazil, Austria and other countries where the voting age is 16 shows that the concerns many have are misplaced, and in fact this policy could produce more democratically engaged citizens in later life, argues Laura Serra.
