Tha Ruairidh Alastair MacIllFhinnein a'sgr霉dadh ceist aois bh貌taidh ann am Breatainn: am bu ch貌ir 矛sleachadh gu 16? Aig sia-bliadhn'-deug faodaidh daoine smocadh, p貌sadh, dhol dhan Arm agus thig orra cis-cosnaidh a'ph脿igheadh - ach chan fhaod iad bh貌tadh ann an Taghadh P脿rlamaid.

Tha am Proifeasar lagha Sir John Curtice ag innse do Ruairidh Alastair mun rannsachadh a rinneadh thuige seo; tha cuideachd d脿 bhall de Ph脿rlamaid na h-Alba a'bruidheann air an siostam ann a Holyrood, agus a'toirt am beachdan fh猫in air an atharrachadh aoise a chuir an s脿s air feadh Bhreatainn.

Ruairidh Alastair MacLennan investigates whether or not the voting age in the UK should be lowered to 16. At 16 people can get married, smoke, join the army and pay taxes, yet they are not allowed to vote in general elections.

Professor John Curtice tells Ruairidh Alastair about the research that has been done, and two MSPs talk about the system at Holyrood and if they think the change should and could happen UK-wide.
