• Such as this, sure to get some people angry.

    I'm hearing plans for a new opposition @UKLabour @LibDems @theSNP Bill next week to give voters aged 16+ the vote in future elections [?] Might be game changer

    One interesting aspect of this is surely you could never take the vote from someone once they've got it. That just looks abominably bad/tyrannical/whatever. Unless there are flaws in the bill it would be very hard to undo. No?

    But you could reverse it by not giving it to future 16 year olds from a certain date by saying "voters are those aged 18 or over on polling day and/or those born on or before date X". That means someone who was 16 on date X gets to vote but anyone a day younger than that doesn't (and they never had to vote to have it taken away from them).
