More Direct Democracy Party

Agree

Yes

Parties advocating for more direct democracy, like the hypothetical 'More Direct Democracy Party,' often support measures that they believe will increase political engagement and representation. Lowering the voting age could be seen as a way to involve younger citizens in the democratic process earlier, potentially increasing lifelong political engagement. However, without specific statements from the party, this score is an educated guess based on the party's general philosophy towards increasing democratic participation.

Agree

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

This position aligns with the principle of 'no taxation without representation,' which could resonate with a party focused on direct democracy. It suggests expanding voting rights based on civic contribution (taxation) rather than age. However, the specific focus on taxpayers might not fully align with the broader goal of inclusivity in democratic participation, as it could exclude young people and others who do not pay taxes.

Disagree

No

Given the party's likely focus on expanding participation in democracy, they might oppose maintaining the current minimum voting age if it is perceived as a barrier to broader engagement. The party's stance would depend on whether they view the current age limit as excluding potential voters who are otherwise capable of making informed decisions.

Strongly disagree

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

Implementing a test for voting rights could be seen as antithetical to the principles of a party advocating for more direct democracy. Such a requirement could be viewed as a barrier to participation, potentially disenfranchising voters and complicating the voting process. This approach might be perceived as undermining the democratic principle of equal access to voting.

Very strongly disagree

No, it should be raised

Raising the minimum voting age would be contrary to the goals of a party that champions more direct democracy. Such a move would likely be viewed as regressive and reducing the number of people able to participate in the democratic process, which goes against the ethos of increasing engagement and lowering barriers to participation.
