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.

Is that actually the case? What do you base that on?
I can see it for younger than 16. But I’m skeptical 16 is much different from 18 or 21. Maybe no different from even older.
It’s solely dependent on the person and their experiences. I know I personally aged a lot from 16 to 18, but some people mature a little faster, some a little slower. Some not at all.
I think 18 is a decent starting cap, but for some people 16 is their 18, and for some it’s their 14 or even 13. So it’s hard to say.
The manipulation comment is based on my own experiences with teens I’ve known, so it’s subject to bias.
