Choosing who runs the country is an important matter and we cannot afford for young people to have the vote when they can so easily be influenced by adults close to them.
If there is an issue here, it should be the minimum age at which you can fight for your country that is raised, not the voting age that is lowered.

Lol, you can't afford them to have a vote when they might not vote the way you want them to more like!
Youngsters today are better educated and more informed than ever. I'm afraid it's older generation that tend to be more bigoted and influenced by tabloids. There should definitely be an IQ test before you're allowed to vote, age should be irrelevant.
