Lower it, this assumption that the youth aren't informed is rhetoric from yesterday. The science of pre frontal cortex is more applicable to males, but it is an old argument.
I remember when MMP came in and at high school as 15 / 16 year olds we had to vote on this.
Age is a convenient argument to detract from new ideas and fresh thinking, youth are connected are informed. Steve Broad acknowledges this as he seen the impact of the youth on his campaign. We need freshness, the council irkes of old frail men protecting themselves.
what a stupid and irresponsible thing to say about the youth of our city- however look at who made the comments! silly old men who need to go and work more often at secondary school to see how amazing,innvoative and intelligent our Rangatahi in Invercargill city are.
When we can only muster just over 30% of the city's residents to vote you would think anything to bolster those numbers would be a positive. They would get one vote depending on their DOB but that one vote may mean they are engaged and continue to vote into the future.
When you break it down we presently have a mayor and many councilors with the endorsement of way under 20% of the eligible voters. If they think that is satisfactory you get that they are comfortable for all the wrong reasons.
