[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the rational for not letting them vote?[/quote] Not being ruled by criminals? Ok, that is a little provocative. But when someone has demonstrated that they cannot he trusted to follow society’s most serious rules, how can they be trusted with a role in selecting its leaders?[/quote] This, unfortunately. But I also thing the voting age should be higher and maybe also that there should be a cap on age for voters. And I'd favor education requirements, too, really. I think plenty of people have shown they're too stupid to vote with any discretion. I get that such restrictions have been used against otherwise responsible people historically. But the alternative has features idiots contributing to catastrophic decisions. [/quote]
