The Labour Party has announced today that if elected at the next general election, it will lower the legal age someone can buy alcohol and tobacco to 16 years. The age for getting a tattoo, using a sunbed, and driving a car will also be lowered. The Labour Party also proposes giving 16 year-olds the right to marry without parental consent (bringing the rest of the UK in line with Scotland), the right to die on a battlefield for Queen and country, buy fireworks, knives, and allowing them to take out personal loans and apply for a credit card. 

How does that sound to you? Do you think they will be vote winners? Of course, the Labour Party didn't announce that today, but all of the above are things that you can't do until you are 18 years-old - apart from driving a car, which currently stands at 17.
