A Wellington City Councillor says he's not holding his breath on 16-year-olds getting the vote.  The Council has reaffirmed its support for letting them participate in local body elections, with only four councillors opposed.  Councillor Ben McNulty says it was a quick vote - and he was in favour. But he says this Government's likely to ignore the call.  "Whether LGNZ listens to Wellington, whether the Government then listens to LGNZ - who knows? It's purely symbolic." McNulty says symbolism is sometimes important in politics.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
