Give them credit for what? Understanding how things work, how wheels turn, how judgements should be made in the context of history and extant situations? Wisdom comes with age.
Maybe a youth Parliament with one elected representative to the Welsh assembly? But votes at 16 is a ridiculous proposition - I fear that it will take hold in the UK. Next it’ll be they can be MPs, too young to buy alcohol, too young to drive but allowed to legislate there on. Quite ridiculous.
