This may yet backfire.
According to the polls most 16 year olds would vote for the Fruit and Nut party (led by Sultana and Corbyn).

If they all vote, which they will not because younger people are less likely to vote than older people, they will make up fewer than 2%. It is not the "seismic" change some in the media are making out.

Having said that I cannot think of a good reason for it to go ahead.
