should the voting age be lowered to 16?

In my opinion I strongly believe that the voting age should be lowered to 16. From being a teenager I think that we don't get enough of a say in what happens in our future. The government don't do much for teenagers, especially when every decision they make decides our future. Having the voting age lowered would be a pro for our country. I understand that many older people believe that we would just be foolish and abuse the privilege of being able to vote at such a young age, but I believe that our generation is extremely capable of voting responsibly. 

I think if the government were to lower the voting age adults or people over the age of 18 shouldn't get to decide this referendum. I believe that the targeted age group should get to make this decision. It would be a great way to really test them to see if they are really up for voting at such a young age. If New Zealand were to lower then voting age this could potentially attract more people to vote and the percentages could be higher than they've ever been. 

Like I mentioned before, adults have that fixed mindset and they believe that we will not have the maturity to vote for the right party. But adults don't really know what is right for us because we are all different and we all have different views of our country and whats best for it. So I think if we were to lower the voting age we wouldn't vote for the RIGHT PARTY because frankly there isn't a right party. All of the parties have something to offer, except national but I'll just leave that there. but we would vote for what we want in our future. Cause we have all these adults who are voting for things they want for them, completely forgetting about the actual future of our country and just letting us be collateral damage to their stupid decisions.
