To be clear, a two-thirds majority would be needed. There is no consense for this, so the governing coalition can wish whatever they want. Especially the CDU (and CSU) does not want this change, because most of the young people do not want to vote vor right-wing conservarives (in U.S. you would call it simply conservative) and thus the CDU would lose percentages. But at least the CDU vor AFD is needed and both will not agree.
unfortunatly the afd is very popular amongst young people. Especially young men in the east.
young man in this case is mostly the 25-35 age braket
Nope. I was referring to the results of the "under 18 elections", which is basically a survey of who minors would vote for on the election days.
But doesn't polling and alternative votes actually find that CDU polls reasonably well with the under-18s? Not at the same degree as their grandparents, but it's not a stark difference either.
