What do you think? Personally I’m all for it. I think it’s important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

    It´s important to keep in mind that they don´t want this out of the goodness of their hearts but because young people are their target demographic.

    When i was around 16 i would´ve considered this the best idea ever tho.

      I’m long past 16 and not German, but I fully support this idea.

      Would like to see a cap placed on the age of voting as well.

    Coming from Austria where the voting age is 16 I have to say I’m surprised to find out it isn’t the same in Germany.

    At this point in time we also could get ChatGPT manage this land… I don’t think it would make a difference to lower the age. The „babyboomer“ are way more active in the voting than the younger generation :s So yes pleas lower the age to vote, also we need a maximum age for the Parlament!

      Ah yes, let a language model decide politics, and ignore a few percent of potential voting power. I’d laugh if I didn’t suspect you were serious.
