As for 16/17 year olds voting, I am fine with it. I think you need a good reason not to enfranchise people and 16 is probably as early as we can give the vote.

16 year olds cannot frame their vote in terms of current affairs, taxes, economy, defence, driving and so on.
Labour's proposal is naked gerrymandering because they know that kids don't change up to being less socialist / more conservative until they've tasted proper life.
