LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's move to lower the voting age to 16 launches the political battle for teenagers' votes, with campaign groups warning no one should make assumptions about their allegiances and parties must address the issues that affect them.
For decades, election trends and polls suggested younger voters tended to lean more to the left in Britain, but recent evidence from Europe shows young voters, particularly men, backing right-wing parties, including the far-right.
