At 16 you're old enough to join the army as a junior and start training at AFC Harrogate, so, yes, they shoud be able to vote.

[doesntmatter]

It directly affects their immediate future.

Most will probably vote along the same lines as their parents anyway.

No one size fits all but younger people should be able to vote and should be taught the importance of and nature of public law.

No, it should be higher, when your young, your most likely more ignorant and liberal, that’s why labour want to lower the voting age to 16, it’s pathetic.
