The UK gives 16-year-olds the right to vote. Brace for social media politics
-
最新报道：The UK has passed legislation lowering the voting age to 16, sparking debates on youth political engagement and social media's role in elections. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated the move aims to "empower the next generation," while critics warn of immature decision-making. Analysts predict campaigns will increasingly target platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where 78% of UK teens are active. The Electoral Commission plans digital literacy programs to combat misinformation. The change takes effect for the 2026 local elections, potentially adding 1.5 million new voters. Similar policies in Scotland saw 58% youth turnout in 2021, higher than the 54% average for older groups.
