This has got to be one of the most stupid fucking things/arguments I have ever read. 6 year old's don't know what they want to eat and have zero concept of "politics" (at least not outside what their parents tell them to say). No, children should not vote. If anything the age to vote should be moved UP to 21. This just creates more "democrats" or lefty/progressives, the children will just vote however their parents tell them to...

Indeed, I believe there is a strong case for lowering the voting age to six, effectively extending the franchise to any child in full-time education. When I have made this case, as I have done in recent years in a variety of different forums, I am always struck by the reaction I get. It is incredulity. What possible reason could there be to do something so seemingly reckless and foolhardy? Most audiences recognise that our democracy is growing fractious, frustrated and frustrating. Our political divisions are wide and our institutions seem ill-equipped to handle them. But nothing surely could justify allowing children to join in. Wouldn’t it simply make everything worse?
