"Matters of electoral importance and the extension of the franchise are not issues to be held in the negotiations hole-in-the-corner," said Forsyth, a person who , 16 years old may be interested to know if his Senate seat in a hole-in-the-corner to us, the elderly called "patronage" translated "sponsorship", "buddy", "reward loyalty. "This means that anyone, literally, since even among people over 18 years, voted for autonomy Lord Forsyth, who is a banker in his spare time. Interestingly, although the Party Labour like this system so much that just voted to save him.

But of course Lord Forsyth is right. There are very important questions to answer before age 16 may be invited, as in the electoral process complicated. Are they mature enough? Can you say a part of another? Are they, as some fear, too busy with exams and have many social lives arsed?

In a 2003 article, Dawkins and his co-writer, Elisabeth Cornwell, neuroscientists cited evidence that "the brain undergoes a major overhaul since the beginning of puberty, which continues until 20 years or more.
