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.

My situation was the same as yours, but I think it would have been like that no matter what age. I'm not sure it's a good idea either, but fact is there are kids who're politically active and can't vote, and that seems a little silly. Democracy's whole thing is that it doesn't exclude.
