Yes,bearing in mind so many youngsters do work,no taxation without representation.
With age hopefully comes maturity and a more logical mind. Hence most of the Yes votes in Scotland were reported to have come from the young. When this comes up again in 20 years time they will all be older and likely to vote No.

To be fair, you seem to prove that the opposite of what you have said is true, on a quite regular basis.
No offence.
Who are you to tell those Scottish people who voted 'yes' that this was a sign of immaturity? It is better for us, here, that they stayed with us, in my opinion. Who knows if it is better for them? Not you, certainly.
As the parent of a 16 year old, I am definitely in the NO camp on this. Mine is a very intelligent young man, but their world view is so very narrow. Far too narrow to make an informed choice at an election, I'd say.
Difficult to decide but if they did, there should be other electoral reforms including compulsory voting (inclusive of the 'none of the above' option), changing the day; for example have polling stations from Friday afternoon through to Saturday afternoon or maybe even over two days. I have absolutely no idea why elections have to be on a Thursday.
