Comments on: Bradford wants voting age lowered to 16 http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2007/06/bradford_wants_voting_age_lowered_to_16.html DPF's Kiwiblog - Fomenting Happy Mischief since 2003 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:17:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Zach Castles http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2007/06/bradford_wants_voting_age_lowered_to_16.html#comment-318234 Zach Castles Fri, 06 Jul 2007 00:40:15 +0000 http://kiwiblog-test.inspire.net.nz/wordpress/?p=16847#comment-318234 As a 15 year old who is constantly in the environment and company of 16 year old peers,I know that 16 year olds should not be able to vote. Sue Bradford knows shes not too crash hot with voters after she pulled the anti-smacking stint so now shes at it again trying to brainwash youth. Everyone knows that the greens are relatively popular amongst youth and by lowering the voting age, Bradford will have a comfortable majority to stay in parliament. She does not care for youth - she wants their vote. Her secret Agenda to brainwash youth and build a support base for the greens is undemocratic and unfair. Her conflict of interest discredits her motion to lower the voting age. We need to provide a non-partisan approach to ciivics and legal studies before we give youth a vote.

I don't believe that 16 year olds should vote (im 18 by the way), but I would like to see 16 year olds not being taxed. It's just not fair. When I was trying to save for Uni last year, I was being taxed 150 - 200 dollars a week. I would rather see that went into a savings account than funding the kindergarten that is politics in which we don't get a say anyway. No vote, no tax.

She and her mates at UNITE are trying to mobilise the youth and unskilled workers for their new political movement. UNITE were not to long ago paying for busses to pick up kids from schools to protest against McDonalds. Although I suspect she is also trying to get a lot of support from the yoof for the upcoming Youth Parliament. Oh come on ladies, we all know what Bradford wants to do here.

It's just that to me this smacks of their tendency to put principal over strategy. It's probably not going to be a popular proposal amongst the electorate, yet they're pursuing it. In fact, I suspect that it could loose them more votes than it brings them. BTW: Thanks for your kind words here and over at my blog. As you can imagine, I don't tend to receive too many of them here. I should also say that I generally wouldn't put you in the same category as Baiter of D4J - My comparison of you to them was in fact more than a little hyperbolic and unfair. Cheers. Frederico:
