So voting age may not be one-size-fits-all. That's what this post is about.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362291064620569539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427060820632756651.post-24434956179940574712011-07-22T19:55:59.531+01:002011-07-22T19:55:59.531+01:00Interesting topic.

So you believe that if more people could vote, the distribution of the votes would be fairer?<br /><br />The only thing I am concerned with is, the consequences of lowering the voting age to a number that would actually include those who are legally considered as minors.<br /><br />For example some would argue, if a 'child' say of 16 cannot be held as responsible for the same things an adult can, how can we trust that this same child deserves to vote?<br /><br />Alternatively I argue that in a way, the choices of today affect the adults of today and therefore their children are also affected, these children will inevitably become the adults of the future, and the environment of today will shape how they perform in the future. I actually agree with what you've said, I see the benefits in lowering the voting age.NGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514812902080533128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427060820632756651.post-3449747269120003432011-07-22T19:54:32.325+01:002011-07-22T19:54:32.325+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.NGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08514812902080533128noreply@blogger.com
