If we’re talking about franchisement what about going back to the good old days. When I was a youngster I couldn’t vote before aged 21. This was actually a very good idea since the bulk of young people had then put in half a dozen years of work, living and contributing to the world of adults. The Boston Tea Party said” no taxation without representation”, well that works the other way as well. Why should students vote when they will not face the consequences of their actions. Their experience of life is as near nil as one can get it. |
