That was rather my point. The justification I was responding to about the age being 16 because 16 and 17 year olds are the future of Scotland was ridiculous on its face because younger kids are no less the future. 16 was an arbitrary figure, and given it was expected the youth vote would carry the load for the yes side, does appear to be rooted more in opportunism rather than anything else.
