There has been talk of lowering the voting age to 16, but not as low as 14. Years ago I would have been against the idea of younger voters, but now I think it's not such a bad idea. Lowering the voting age to 16 might encourage politicians to address the kinds of education and employment issues which young people face.
That is one well-spoken 14 year old.
Agreed, and good for him for doing this, and for taking an interest in politics in general. Shame about the socialism, though -- I might even say his article's epigraph gives the lie to his views. But by any reasonable test, he is a better voter than a lot of adults.
