Poll in Britain 
 
On November 16, 2003 Channel 4 broadcast a programme; "Sex Before 16: Why the Law is Failing" and afterwards conducted a phone poll of its viewers in the United Kingdom. 
 
Of the 3366 respondents to the four options;
* 34% thought the age of consent should be reduced to 14
* 35% thought it should stay at 16
* 13% thought it should be raised to 18
* 18% thought it should be abolished
Whilst this would suggest that there is more potential to lower the age, the topic remains controversial, and the Channel 4 viewer sample is questionably libertarian.
