What do you think? Personally I’m all for it. I think it’s important to have as many young people involved in politics to counteract the old majority.

There’s not a lot of good arguments against lowering the voter age limit if you try to debate this policy in a way that is agnostic of which parties one thinks will benefit.
Same but reverse about the other election reform from this government - if it wasn’t for CSU and the Left being the biggest losers of that reform, I don’t think many would agree that it’s democratic to just toss out the votes of one election (direct mandate) based on the outcome of a separate election (proportional vote).
In short: When you are party-agnostic: 16+ vote is okay, the hasty patch for the parliament size is not.
