We should lower voting age to 17. People with small chance of even being here in 30 yrs shouldn't dominate decisions that affect those who will then be in their prime. Kids in high school are more at risk, have more at stake, and should have more power in determining the future.

as long as we allow them to smoke and drink too. we can't be hypocrites about this.

No, only people who work, with a mortgage, and who pay taxes should be able to vote. Idealistic kids under their parent's paycheck shouldn't

The majority of 17-year olds are still high school students living at home as minors. While I would love for them to be informed, they should not be voting.

Apart from studying up on local, national & international issues how will these 17 year olds be spending their days? Will they need to have any historical perspective ... or at least be able to summarize WW2, founding of America or anything based in realism?

17 is better than 16. But i would change it
Replying to @marwilliamson
Why not 4 years old ?

So true. And yet...Conservative parties will never approve this - the youth vote trends progressive

And lower the drinking age too?

I believe I've told you before this is one of the worst takes from your campaign. You may have been an independent minded Jewish trial of a Jewish lawyer at the age of 17 but that doesn't cover the entire country. You have forgotten that teenagers brains are still growing...
