Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

This answer aligns with the democratic principle of 'no taxation without representation.' Allowing any citizen who pays taxes to vote would increase the inclusiveness of the democratic process. However, some democrats may argue that other factors, such as age and understanding of politics, should also be considered when determining eligibility to vote.

Agree

Yes

Democracy as an ideology generally supports the inclusion of as many citizens as possible in the voting process. Lowering the minimum voting age could be seen as a way to increase participation and representation. However, there is no consensus among democrats on the specific age, and some may argue that younger individuals may not have enough life experience or understanding of politics to make informed decisions.

Disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would generally be seen as a move away from democratic principles, as it would reduce the number of citizens who can participate in the democratic process. However, some democrats may argue that a higher voting age could lead to a more informed and mature electorate. Overall, this answer would likely be seen as less aligned with democratic values.

Strongly disagree

No, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Requiring voters to pass a basic test on politics would be seen as a barrier to participation and goes against the democratic principle of universal suffrage. Historically, literacy tests and other similar requirements have been used to disenfranchise certain groups of people, particularly minorities and the less educated. This answer would be strongly opposed by most supporters of democracy.
