Equally, the mere fact that 16 and 17 year olds can pay tax doesn't mean that the majority actually do, and similarly the mere fact that 16 and 17 year olds can be directors of companies, get married and change their names does not mean the majority actually do. The opportunities for 16 and 17 year olds to become involved in the political system are also more than adequate.
