I simply vote AGAINST the bigger shower of venal incompetents on offer. Sadly,it's been getting a lot harder in recent years. Was a time it was always the conservatives who were the bigger shower. Last election,I thought "a pox on both your houses!" and voted against both major parties.
I'm quite sure most 15 (and 12 ) year old kids have the same level of interest,understanding and gullibility as the majority of voters. However. I'm not entirely convinced that "they couldn't possibly make worse choices than current voters" is a rational reason for giving them the vote.
@Spatium:
Complaining "this is unfair" and stamping your size 16's is going to get you exactly nowhere. Better you realise this while you are young;it will give you a huge advantage over your peers. I shit you not.
