Description
Four people. One topic. No filter. Writer & journalist Charlie Peters, politics student Emily Hewertson, poet Iona Lee and creative director David Chukwujekwu discuss at what age you should be able to vote. The age when you can start voting varies across the UK. In England and Northern Ireland you can’t vote in any elections until you’re 18. But in Scotland and Wales you can vote in local and devolved parliamentary elections at 16. So should the voting age be lowered for all elections or as some people believe should it actually be raised? Producers: Myles Bonnar and Peter McManus Editor: Anthony Browne A BBC Scotland production for Radio 4
