Angela Rayner, the UK government's number 2, said that 16 and 17-year-olds will have the vote, fulfilling a promise. She pointed out that they already contribute to society through work, paying taxes and military service, arguing that it is normal for young people to have their say in matters that directly affect them. This measure is seen as an important step in involving young people in the democratic process.
