The online furore was sparked by Parliament debating a motion on Friday about whether or not the voting age should be lowered to 16. The raucous debate has sparked the trend “#VotesAt16” on Twitter.

As the hashtag trended, teenagers from across the political spectrum exchanged barbs, with those against the motion suggesting that their peers are too “clueless” to vote. Meanwhile, supporters of the bill are more sympathetic, calling such a reform a “great day for our democracy.”
