Vincent McAviney: UK Correspondent on the country lowering the voting age to 16

The UK's Labour Party believes allowing the younger generation to vote could have positive ripple effects.  It's lowering the country's voting age to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to have their say.   The change will take effect at the next general election and brings the electorate into line with Scotland and Wales.  UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Andrew Dickens youth want to feel catered for, and Labour's keeping their word.   He says there's some thinking in the party that young people tend to be more left-leaning and could support Labour.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
