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.

At this point in time we also could get ChatGPT manage this land… I don’t think it would make a difference to lower the age. The „babyboomer“ are way more active in the voting than the younger generation :s So yes pleas lower the age to vote, also we need a maximum age for the Parlament!

Ah yes, let a language model decide politics, and ignore a few percent of potential voting power. I'd laugh if I didn't suspect you were serious.
