Re: Coming of age.
I think they should teach modern politics in schools. More people might vote if they understood it or got enthusiastic about it from an early age.

Re: Coming of age.
The problem is; as soon as children are introduced to modern politics - it is at that very moment that they realise everything that is wrong with the world and lose every last bit of childlike innocence we should be trying to savour for them; with the evils of alcohol & drugs hitting children at earlier and earlier ages.

Re: Coming of age.
I dont think they should lower the age for voting, some are very mature but a lot aren't and also there not that interested.

Re: Coming of age.

Re: Coming of age.
no they shouldnt lower the age of voting cause i dont think it would make a difference really, except the fact that government may take more notice of the younger generation but is that a good thing lol

Re: Coming of age.
Let's face it no government gives a flying charlie about who votes/how old they are; they just want a potential bigger percentage of voting turnout. Yes it will be a fad and a few will vote but at the end of the day 16 year olds aren't that stupid; they know their vote is only valued as a number not as an opinion - so why spare the hassle to swap a deckchair on the titanic?
