Lower the voting age to 16!

Welcome to my first blog. In this blog I will write about question: Do we need to lower the voting age to 16. I think this is a good idea.

Personally I like to think about politics and about my own country and which political party is the best for my country. So why can’t I, a boy that’s 16 years old, vote about something I’m interesed in. I think there are more teenagers that think like that. of course there are also enough students who aren’t interesed at all in politics, but that doesn’t matter. Because they’re not interesed, they will not vote. So this will not have any influence on the country or the politics. When we lower the voting age, the students who are interesed can vote and this will only have a better influence on the politics in the Netherlands. I even believe that there are enough students who know more about the subject than most of the adults. So if they could vote, they would vote what is the best for the land (in their opinion). Some adults just vote random on some party, so if we lower the voting age to 16 there are more serious votes and this will have a better effect on the total of votes.

So because of the interest of students under 18 in politics, I think to lower the age is a great idea. Here is my opinion and I hope you have learned more about this question and I would like to know your opinion about this subject.
