Raising voting age wouldn’t work people would protest

would be interesting though... to put out a referendum on what age people should be able to vote at... one of the ranked voting ref votes... so like
a) over 16
b) over 18
c) over 21
d) over 25
and you give each one a score of 1 to 4

Blimey cant type tonight

I don’t want to hear “you’re 14”

People would protest since you’re taking some of their voting rights away

Should stay at 18 tbh

Legal age to be an adult

Voting should match age of becoming an 'adult'

Unless we are changing that just keep it at 18

I dunno if voting is a right... or a privilege

We could go full starship troopers?

Doesn’t matter about that opinion cause most of the public see it as a right

And like I said raising it brings the problem of taking their voting “privileges” away

I like calling it a right

Not automatic citizenship and only citizens can vote, who have earned citizenship

The problem would be who gets to decide who gets to vote

like I said.. referendum

Referendums are pains in the ass

We would need a referendum.. since our leaders always follow the result of them... :\

I don’t see much problem with the current system with 18 year olds voting

The only argument I hear is 18 year olds vote for leftists

cos none of them are working 😛

yeah, but very few vote, I think its abotu 25% of under 25's vote or something?

And if you’re making that argument at least make it out of principal not just so leftists don’t get voted in

but 70 to 80% of those over 50?

i think

Ok?

What does that show

Some people still vote some 18-25s are interested in politics

hitler youth

pretty easy to create young natsocs

"we should have free stuff!"

That’s not an argument

Just because you disagree with how they vote on average doesn’t mean they shouldn’t vote

I wasnt really making an argument for anything.. just making an observation

Ok

It’s just everyone that argues for increased voting age it’s just because young people vote labour

Well I don't thing there is many arguing for increasing as there are for lowering

I’d sooner lower it then increase it but it’s fine where it is

maybe people should only be able to vote when they move away from home... so its not just their parents vote

Nah a lot of people get different opinions then their parents

Most of my friends have different opinions

Then also then a lot disabled people wouldn’t be able to vote
