Germany's center-left government wants to lower the voting age for nationwide elections from 18 to 16. Many young people support the idea, but the majority of the population has expressed skepticism.

What do you think? Personally I’m all for it. I think it’s important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

    Neat! IIRC the Zapatistas do it as young as twelve, and tbh I’ve never been convinced by the arguments against letting basically anyone who can understand the concept vote.
