Keir Starmer has confirmed he wants to lower the voting age to 16.
Voting rights have already been extended to some under-18s in several countries, including Austria, Argentina and Brazil. In Germany, 16-year-olds can vote in local elections and, as of this month, in European elections.
In Scotland and Wales, over-16s can already vote in devolved national elections, as well as in local elections. Over-16s also have the vote in local elections in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man.
However, the vote is restricted to over-18s in all elections in England and Northern Ireland.
The Liberal Democrats and Green Party have also previously supported the move, while the Conservatives have traditionally opposed it.

Minimum voting age should be 23 and restricted to those who pay income taxes.
They won’t completely get rid of elections, Iran has elections, except the only candidate that can win is chosen by the Ayatollah.
California has elections, only in a few isolated pockets can a Republican win, same for most of the Blue Cities around the country.
The election system in these places has been so corrupted over the years it’s on par with places like Iran, Russia and other similar countries.
That was the ending. 🤣
The political left knows that pure ‘democracy’ naturally devolves into pure anarchy, and that this is basically a middle finger to the system that prides itself on ‘democracy’. It’s the Cloward-Piven strategy but applied to voting.
The voting age should be tied to the age for legal firearm purchase.
Democrats need more uneducated voters and they know how to find them.
IOW, they want to give every high school teacher an extra 30 votes.
So there!

Why lower it to 16, when you could just as easily lower it to 6?
That’s idiotic.
Kids at that age don’t even know what gender they want to be.
Does the science support the suggestion?
Funny...I’d like to raise it to 40.

Beat me to it! I also read the original short story in Esquire magazine back then.

As if the problem with democracy is not enough people voting. Lol.
I really like the music from that movie and have the entire movie on a hard drive and a flash drive, and also have the record sound track.
